ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

Rocky Mountain National Park is located in northern Colorado

Rocky Mountain is one of the nation’s highest national parks. With elevations from 7,860 feet to 14,259 feet, Rocky Mountain makes you feel like you are on top of the world. Within the park’s boundaries are 77 mountain peaks over 12,000 feet high and the Continental Divide. The park’s Alpine Visitor Center also sits at the highest elevation of all National Park Service sites. With towering landscapes that take visitors to new heights, it’s no surprise that Rocky Mountain is world-renowned for its gorgeous scenery.

Rocky Mountain offers more than rugged mountains. Here, you’ll see an amazing range of landscapes in a short distance. A maze of evergreen trees covers the mountainsides in subalpine areas. Hidden among the trees are crystal-clear lakes and fields of wildflowers that may surprise you. Approximately one-third of this national park is above the limit where trees grow in northern Colorado (around 11,500 feet above sea level), creating the alpine tundra ecosystem. The Montane ecosystem has the richest diversity of plant and animal life. Meandering rivers and open meadows are surrounded by hilly slopes.

The park’s Trail Ridge Road inspired awe even before the first motorist traveled it. Completed in 1932, Trail Ridge Road took visitors to new heights and was called a "scenic wonder road of the world." Cresting just over 12,000 feet, it is the highest continuous paved highway in the nation -- it is so high that drivers will climb 4,000 feet in a matter of minutes! Covering 48 miles between Estes Park on the park's east side and Grand Lake on the west, it is still a major attraction for park visitors today.

Most of the park is designated as wilderness. Nearly 250,000 acres of Rocky Mountain was designated as wilderness by Congress in 2009, protecting the wild beauty of the park’s meadows, forests, alpine peaks and tundra.

While most people visit Rocky Mountain in the summer, winter holds its own magic. When you visit in the off season, you can trek through a silent forest full of fresh, white snow or explore the park’s many beautiful lakes, now covered in sheets of richly colored ice. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding are great ways to experience all that the park has to offer in winter. For the experienced and well-prepared, Rocky’s steep terrain provides many opportunities for backcountry skiers and snowboarders.
