Christopher and Elizabeth Rivers:
We had a great time hiking to Upper Piney Lake over 4th of July weekend, 2006. Although the views are out of this world, the hike will take everything out of you that you've got. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you have everything you need for AT LEAST 2 days. The hike to Upper Piney will take 8 hours (all up hill)...But only 4 hours to get back to Piney River Ranch.

So many amusing things to do in the Park Range, not sufficient time. There are some delightful whitewater spots on Gore Creek, and what would winter be without some skiing at Vail.
