Snowshoeing Finch Lake RMNP

This is another video I shot entitled "Snowshoeing Finch Lake RMNP" that I will hopefully have linked to the interactive map in the near future.

One of the reasons I include the car driving sequence at the beginning of each video is that often these trailheads are difficult to find. Some, but not all, of them are found down unmarked and twisting dirt roads. If anyone's ever gotten up bright and early to head up into the back-country and then spent the next hour-and-a-half looking for a trailhead, then they know how frustrating that experience can be.

So hopefully a few shots at the beginning of each video will make it much easier to find some of these trailheads. I shot this Finch Lake video before the Cub Lake video below.

One of the things that's easy to forget when you've been doing something like snowshoeing in the backcountry for a number of years is that information that you take for granted may not be obvious to people who haven't done this sort of thing before. Therefore, in the Cub Lake video below, I tried to include much more "orienting" information such as trail length, elevation gain, overall difficulty, etc. that I didn't include in this video. I also made a few sylistic changes and improvements as well.

Enjoy...
