Highlights

Ouzel Falls - Hike: Moderate 5.5-mile hike with 1,000 feet of elevation gain through stunning Rocky Mountain National Park.

Features: The destination is an incredible 40-foot waterfall named Ouzel (OOH-zel) Falls. Along the way, we’ll walk through an enchanting pine and aspen forest while following a rushing mountain stream with multiple waterfalls and cascades. If you love water then you’ll love this hike! Once we get to Ouzel Falls we’ll enjoy hot drinks and chocolates, views, sound, and mist of this glorious waterfall. We’ll return the same way we came.

Level: This adventure requires ladies to be in moderately good physical condition as well as be able to walk uphill and downhill on rocky terrain. I can provide trekking poles for you to help with the rocky terrain. The first half of the hike is uphill to Ouzel Falls and then downhill upon return to the trailhead.

Pace: I will keep a moderate pace (1.5-2 mph) and won’t leave you behind. We’ll stop along the way to let you catch your breath, have a snack/water, and take pictures.

Booking: After booking, I’ll provide meeting details, what to bring, and weather conditions. Please note, transportation is not provided.

FEMME TREK rocks! - I highly recommend FEMME TREK as the go-to company in Rocky Mountain National Park. Sharon’s professionalism as a hiking guide and her desire to share knowledge of the physical landscape, as well as the flora and fauna during hikes, makes FEMME TREK unique. Her personal care and attention to detail during hikes is second to none. As an experienced international hiker, I thoroughly enjoyed my multi-day hikes with FEMME TREK this summer. Sharon caters for all abilities and skills with ease and confidence. Whether you are a novice hiker or experienced, trekking solo or with a group, and are wanting to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, book FEMME TREK!

The best guided hike for Women! - This was the best hike! Not only did I hike over 5 miles with a 14,000-foot elevation gain to Ouzel Falls but I gained so much knowledge, and felt empowered, but my 68-year-old aunt did it as well! Sharon has started such a wonderful business to help women feel empowered and strong. She shared so much about her journey to this point as well as so much valuable knowledge about nature. I learned which flowers along our walk were poisonous and which ones were good for humans in different ways and so much more. She kept a steady pace to keep both me and my aunt from being too drained which allowed us to make it to the top with very few breaks. Once we got to our destination we enjoyed some hot chocolate, Kuju coffee (which is delicious,) and snacks that were provided by Sharon to keep our energy up and prevent fatigue. When we reached the top of the waterfall I felt so accomplished and empowered. I have never hiked so high before and was so proud of myself and my aunt. With Sharon's guidance and help, neither of us ever felt like we could not make it. She encouraged us the whole way. I love that she does this so that women traveling alone or in small groups do not have to feel unsafe or alone when wanting to hike the Rocky Mountains. I now feel so much more equipped to go on hikes by myself as well as stronger and more empowered than I did before. I definitely would recommend Femme Track to any women that I know and will do more hikes with her if I ever get the chance to come back to Estes Park.
