The main road to the Longs Peak district comes in just east of the
village of Estes Park, skirting the east boundary of the park to its
south-east corner. It passes between Longs Peak and the Twin Sisters, a
detached area of the park on which a fire lookout is stationed, and
several of the finest foot trips in the park are accessible from this
road.
Continuing in a southerly direction, the road skirts the eastern
boundary of the park and leads to Copeland Lodge on North St. Vrain
Creek. From this point a trail leads into Wild Basin, a very attractive
though less frequented portion of the park.
The road continues to Allens Park, thence to Ward, Nederland, and
Boulder; another road leads down the South St. Vrain to Lyons.
