across the Continental Divide and
the remains of part of Old Fall
River Road that is no longer open
to automobile traffic can easily be
seen from spots on Trail Ridge
Road. The trail's route offers a
chance to experience the tundra
in a way that simply is not
possible from the roadside.
However, as you hike, remember
that this is a very fragile
ecosystem. Damage to tundra
can take a hundred years to
repair. Please stay on the path
as much as possible and tread
lightly if it is necessary to leave it.

the trail from the road does not
mean the views along it are the
same as those you can see from
the highway. In fact, it gives you a
much different perspective of the
alpine world. This hike is also one
of the easiest ways to cross the
Continental Divide on foot.
