Backpack – Missing Route/Place

Camping in RMNP's wilderness campsites near beautiful alpine lakes is one of the best ways to experience the park. Odessa Lake as a destination is a premiere alpine lake environment with plenty of opportunities to engage in multiple recreational opportunities, like hiking, climbing, and fly-fishing.

  • If we’re lucky there will be some nice fall colors, red and yellow Aspen trees
  • We may listen to some mellow music at camp.
  • If the weather looks too cold or heavy precipitation we may cancel or postpone the trip; rough weather estimation,  low of 35, high of 50. Although it can get chilly at night the proper pad and clothing, bag will help. The daytime weather can be gorgeous with cool air and warm sun
  • We would park at Bear Lake or the shuttle lot. There is a park entrance fee - $35 for multiple days. I have a free pass for my car. Others may have the same.
