@digitalrn Oh no! While this really is not all that high, maybe 200 ft. elevation, I did not hike up, even though I had my hiking sticks with me. Of late, I am having increasing balance issues due to neuropathy in my feet, so even with sticks, I need to be mindful of what i do......not to mention the fact that I am scared of heights!!
I remember visiting this spot last summer when I visited RMNP. We ended up parking in the lot further away from the fan and had to walk a ways to see it… very pretty spot & nice photo. Beautiful blue sky & great accent cloud too. I’m happy for you that you are still able to get out and about and see such beautiful places even with your mobility limitations. Kudos!
@kvphoto Ok...you parked at the trailhead, which is a very quick turn there, right off of Endovalley Rd! You had to go farther down about 3/4 of a mile to park only about 75 yards or so away. My first time there was back in 2005, and I remembered, since I have been there 2 other times before this last trip. You should have seen this fan back then, it was even more amazing. A few years ago, it re-flooded (nothing like the original flood in 1982) and effectively flattened it out a fair amount. It is STILL something to see.
