Walter Tishma Way, Colorado

The Walter Tishma Way is a spectacular 42-mile traverse through Rocky Mountain National Park, beginning in Estes Park and crossing some of the park’s most breathtaking alpine terrain. This route showcases rugged mountain passes, sweeping tundra, alpine lakes, and abundant wildlife, offering a true backcountry experience in one of the country’s most iconic landscapes. Organized by the experienced team at Footpaths of the World, the journey is thoughtfully designed to balance challenge and comfort, making it an unforgettable adventure for hikers seeking both stunning scenery and expert support.

We hiked this trail in 2020 and since then, Footpaths of the World has refined their trips to make for a wonderful inn-to-inn experience. We highly recommend this trip!
