14th Annual Full Moon Drive to Lily Lake and RMNP's Alpine Visitor Center
Sat, Aug 17
|Walmart in Lafayette, CO
Remember when our Colorado mountain roads were smooth and uncrowded? Neither do we, but this drive will come close -- an afternoon drive up the lovely South Saint Vrain Canyon, and a evening drive up a quiet RMNP Trail Ridge Road.

About the Event
The event: The lovely South St. Vrain Canyon road (Colo. Hwy 7) from Lyons to Raymond was re-paved in 2022, and is a perfect start for an afternoon Miata drive up past Allenspark and on to Lily Lake, and after a picnic, an early-evening drive up Trail Ridge Road, to Rocky Mountain National Park's Alpine Visitor Center.
No RSVP: Just show up at the 3:15 pm Lafayette gathering--details on all that below. We should be arriving at Lily Lake around 5:15-5:30 pm, after a photo-op stop at the top of 2nd Avenue/Mountain View Drive in east Lyons. For our 'southside' members looking to avoid noisy interstates, consider taking the curvy Golden Gate Canyon Road west from north Golden up to Colo. 119, to enjoy the Peak to Peak Highway in its entirety, zooming north until the left at Hwy 7, to join us up at Lily Lake.
