Poudre River Overnight

Photos by: Jim Gallt
July 9-10, 2002

Led by Joe and Paris from the YMCA of the Rockies, a group of ten hiked the Poudre River Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. We camped at the confluence of the Poudre River and Chapin Creek. Brook trout fishing in both Chapin Creek and Poudre River was excellent. We all enjoyed a campsite with a beautiful overlook of the valley, as well as excellent food and weather.

If you were on the trip and enjoyed the photos, please send me a note.
