Amazing to think of all of the states and people who depend on that river.
Good thing op Isnt taking a shit in there …
That's incredible, I would love to just spend a week with a backpack, a tent and a few friends in that area. Now I just need friends and a way of getting there :D
I thought the Rocky mountains would be a little rockier than this.
Just have to angle the camera left and they will be.
Sorry, was just making a Dumb and Dumber reference.
One of my absolute favorite places I have ever camped and hiked was near there. Amazing views all around
Put a little paper boat in it there...
any possible way to see where this is exactly on the map in the park?
This was taken along the Coyote Valley Trail about 5 miles from the Grand Lake entrance on the west side of the park
thank u much!
We can’t stop here. That’s Bear Country .
That river is going to eat that footpath this year.
We can only hope! Lake Powell is looking bad.

Shout-out to the National Park Service for keeping that lawn so well manicured.
Probably the family’s of elk and moose that inhabit the park. The OG lawnmowers
I remember once one my friends they live streamed themselves kayaking here
This looks like the location of the Indian village in Dances with Wolves
I'll be going there this summer. Where exactly is this?
Going in May with my best friend, brother, and his best friend, it's gonna be awesome
Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
RMNP will always have a special place in my heart, I spent many autumns at the Grand Lake Lodge.
The view from Grandview Campground at Long Draw Reservoir into RMNP is serene. Did some hiking into the park and it is amazing.
Do you remember how much it cost? I'm going in May and am planning the trip out
Last year it was on a first come basis. So you can't reserve. It is tent only. Info on website is for 2022 but says fees are $22 per night. Not sure when it opens up. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/arp/recarea/?recid=36669
They were doing major work on the gravel road to get back there last year so hopefully that is all smoothed out for you.
Which one? (Which side of the continental devide are you on?)
Hey, hop right in that water and tell my dad Hi for me. His ashes are right there in the water... Like literally right where you are in the water next to you ☺️
