One may combine portions of several roads by taking what is known as the
loop trip. Starting from Estes Park, the route follows the Fall River
Road up to Chasm Falls and back to Horseshoe Park, then over Deer Ridge
to Beaver and Moraine Parks, then a side trip up the Bear Lake Road and
back, returning to Estes Park by the Moraine Park Road. This loop trip
takes one by many of the hotels and other points of interest and offers
scenic views. The circuit of the Highdrive is 17 miles. Including the
trip to Bear Lake and other points, the distance is about 40 miles.
