Wild Basin, Rocky Mountain National Park

Wild Basin is a scenic trail and the southeastern entrance station of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. It is located north of Allenspark off Colorado State Highway 7. A dirt road leads to a ranger station, parking and horseback or hiking trails. The trail to Bluebird Lake and Ouzel Lake follows the North St. Vrain Creek passing Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls along the way, leading to Ouzel Lake and Bluebird Lake. Both Ouzel Falls and Ouzel Lake are named after an North American species Cinclus mexicanus, also known as a dipper. Other trails lead to Thunder Lake, Finch Lake, and Pear Lake.
