Chasm Lake via East Longs Peak Trail and Chasm Lake Trail
The hike to Chasm Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park is a rewarding journey through diverse alpine landscapes. Starting from the Longs Peak Trailhead, the trail gradually ascends through a dense forest of spruce and pine before breaking above the treeline, where sweeping views of Mount Meeker, Mount Lady Washington, and the famed Diamond Face of Longs Peak emerge. As you approach the lake, the trail offers glimpses of cascading waterfalls and the striking Peacock Pool, culminating in the serene beauty of Chasm Lake nestled amidst rugged cliffs and dramatic peaks. #Hiking #Mountain #Forest #Nature #Lake #Waterfall
