If you want to get away from the crowd at Gem Lake consider continuing your journey out to Balanced Rock. This entire area of RMNP is known for its climbing routes and interesting rock formations. The trail is well maintained and you'll have views toward the Mummy Range. You'll spend most of your time below tree line, and walking among numerous species of trees.
