Named after the nearby Pierson Mountain, Pierson Park Road North travels through the backcountry south of Estes Park, Colorado. You will find spectacular views of the Estes Park Valley as well as access to the Pierson Park Trail, a hiking trail that wanders through old homesteads from the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 2013, heavy rainfall created havoc on the landscape of the surrounding area. The excessive rain caused a significant landslide from the Twin Sisters Mountain that borders the western edge of the valley. The landslide was deemed unstable by the US Forest Service and the Pierson Park Road was basically cut in half by the natural disaster. Today, the once-through road is open as an out-and-back from the north and from the south. Remnants of the landslide are still clearly visible on the eastern slope of Twin Sisters Mountain.
