    Description

    The Lake Irene Picnic Area is an ideal location to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park’s sub-alpine ecosystem. There are several picnic tables available at this location and it is just a short walk to Lake Irene. After your picnic, stroll the 0.5 mile loop around this scenic lake to look for wildflowers in mid-summer. At this elevation, subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce are the iconic trees to see. Directly across Trail Ridge Road from the picnic area is Sheep Rock. Look closely at the top of this rock formation and you may find Bighorn Sheep perched upon it. National Park Service
