Estes Cone Trail Run Guide | Rocky Mountain National Park

The Estes Cone via the Lily Lake Trailhead is the lesser-known but far superior route to summit this iconic peak. This 6.5-mile round trip hike climbs about 1,600 feet and tops out at 11,006 feet, offering wide-open views of Longs Peak and the Continental Divide. The final push includes easy, beginner-friendly bouldering to the summit. This trail is often quieter than the popular Longs Peak trail, giving you a peaceful experience in the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park.
