USA Forest Canyon Overlook

This is another view point on the Trail ridge rd. Now you are on the higher elevation (>13000 ft) and one can get some great view of the actual rockies from here and can experience first hand the weather made by the mountain itself! One movement its warm and sunny, in five minutes it will be windy and snowing, the next movement it starts to hail and the next hails!!

Another panorama spot and good for tight shots as well. But keep the unpredictable weather in mind and most of the time it will be very windy and this road is only open from late spring to early fall (check their website for more details). There is also a chance that you would see some wildlife and the telephoto could be useful there as well.

You have to have your own transportation to get here and the parking lot is quite big as well.
