    Description

    Get a panoramic view of a glacier-carved canyon from 11,716 feet at Forest Canyon Overlook in Rocky Mountain National Park. A five minute walk down the paved asphalt trail leads to the observation platform overlooking Forest Canyon and its tributary canyons, Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes, where a 1,500 feet thick glacier shaped and scoured the valley into the distinctive U-shaped valley of today.
