Hike #39 - Alberta Falls Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

Alberta Falls

The moderate level trail to Alberta Falls is 1.4 miles out and back. There are semi-steep hills but the total elevation gain is only 160'. It is one of the most popular and crowded trails in the park.  We hiked this trail after hiking around Bear Lake.  The waterfall roars through a granite chute with huge rock slabs scattered around to sit and enjoy the beauty and sound of the water.  The trail passes through aspen groves then into pine forest.
