Deer Mountain and the Glacier Basin webcam
Friday, 10 June 2011 | categories: hiking, Estes ParkThis is a fun hike with lots of views of the surrounding mountains, especially to the south and west. The forest is not that thick, so there are good views from most parts of the trail. I ended up walking with the people I met yesterday at Estes Cone, John and Stephanie, and it was fun to talk to them. I hiked this trail last year and I'm inclined to hike it just about every time I visit.
Here is the GPS track, at Every Trail.
Afterwards, I spent a few minutes at the entrance to the Glacier Basin campground, which has a webcam that updates every 10 minutes. I enjoy this webcam when I'm at home and it was fun to see it in person and also talk to the rangers at the booth -- they see a number of people coming to see the webcam.
There are a few other webcams in the Park
