East Inlet Trail, Historic hiking trail in Grand County, US
The East Inlet Trail stretches through Rocky Mountain National Park, leading hikers from Grand Lake to a sequence of mountain lakes to the east.
The National Park Service developed the trail in 1934, with workers from the Public Works Administration constructing the section between Lone Pine Lake and Lake Verna.
The trail earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, marking its role in the development of outdoor recreation infrastructure.
Regular trail maintenance ensures safe hiking conditions, while stone steps and handrails at Adam Falls provide additional support for visitors crossing water features.
The trail incorporates specialized causeway sections built in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps to guide hikers through previously impassable swampy terrain.
