"Are we out of this godforsaken Boulder Field yet?" The famous trek to the Key Hole on Longs Peak requires a difficult slog through the Boulder Field, a rugged section of "trail", roughly 2/3 of a mile in length and climbs about 800 feet. The incredible views on the other side makes it all worth it, as you can see by the pictures.

One of the features along the hike to The Pool in Rocky Mountain National Park is that you'll walk thru Arch Rocks, a couple of house-sized rocks that landed on the trail when a large boulder fell from the cliffs above and split apart. This popular year-round hike can also be combined with the Cub Lake Trail (http://www.rockymountainhikingtrails.com/cub-lake.htm) to make an outstanding and easy loop hike.
