Rocky Mountain National Park

Sponsored Links:

Intro

The park's rich scenery typifies the massive grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. Trail Ridge Road crosses the Continental Divide and looks out over peaks that tower more than 14,000 feet high. Wildlife and wildflowers call these 415.2 square miles (265,727 acres) of Colorado's front range, home. The road is closed over the winter.
During the winter months snowshoeing is popular as is cross country skiing.
