Rocky Mountain NP
Rocky Mountain NP Travel Guide
Anyone who delights in alpine lakes, mountain peaks, and an abundance of wildlife -- not to mention dizzying heights -- should consider Rocky Mountain National Park. Here, a single hour's drive leads from a 7,800-foot elevation at park headquarters to the 12,183-foot apex of the twisting and turning Trail Ridge Road. More than 350 mi of hiking trails take you to the park's many treasures: meadows flushed with wildflowers, cool dense forests of lodgepole pine and Engelmann spruce, and the noticeable presence of wildlife, including elk and bighorn sheep.
