Old Man Mountain doesn't seem to get much attention on the forums, but its close proximity to where we were staying and short distance made it a perfect candidate to check out while on my recent family trip.

I had some time to myself one morning while the girls were taking it easy at the condo. I figured I'd find the "trailhead" (there's no official trail) and check out the hike before bringing my daughter along.
This was a fun hike. It's a tiny bit of route finding and some rock hopping, but mostly just a walk up the rocky formation. The mountain forms the western border of downtown Estes and provides a new perspective on the town.

Once to the top, I immediately knew my daughter would enjoy this one. I spent a little time relaxing, and then headed down to go back home.
Within a couple hours I was doing it again.

This is a great warm-up, time filler, or family adventure spot.



The backpack is getting full of trail tags.....

Very pretty, Q! Your cutie is quite the hiker. I have a lot of trail patches that I'm going to try to work into a quilt. I guess I can add that to my retirement list.

Looks like a great warm up hike to add to my list. Hiking with family is awesome!
