Hey everyone, my wife and I will be in Colorado in a few weeks and I want to bag a hike in RMNP. We've been before in the Winter, snowshoeing from Bear Lake for a bit.
My question is…if I have a half day and can knock out a 5-10 mile hike, what is a must-do location, the one trail everyone should see? I've read a bit online but I get a lot of answers. I know we can't see everything, but I'm looking for that one amazing lake or view.
Thanks!

By RMNP standards, it is relatively quite, too, vs other areas (relatively!!!)
