Zimmerman Lake Trail
This is a short and steady climb to a small lake with great views of the surrounding remnants of the Never Summer Mountains. It is a very popular trail so expect company, but crowds thin out quickly when you reach the lake. The Rawah Wilderness and Never Summer Mountains that form the northwest border of Rocky Mountain National Park surround the lake. This can be the beginning of a mostly downhill car shuttle loop with the Meadows Trail. There is also a loop trail around the lake that features lots of trees and can be used to extend the short hike to the lake.
