Rocky Mountain National Park is een Amerikaans nationaal park in de Southern Rocky Mountains in het noorden van de staat Colorado.
Rocky Mountain National Park bezit majestueuze berggezichten, gevarieerde klimaten en omgevingen – van bossen tot bergtoendra – en makkelijk te bereiken wandelroutes en kampplaatsen. In het park liggen de bronnen van de rivier de Colorado. Het park ligt ten noordwesten van Boulder (Colorado) in de Colorado Rockies. Het park is omgeven door het Roosevelt National Forest in het noorden en het oosten, Routt National Forest in het noordwesten, en Arapaho National Forest in het zuidwesten. De hoogste berg is Longs Peak met een hoogte van 4345 m.
Beautiful national park with lots to see. The trail ridge road is amazing in itself for the way it was built, offering incredible views from high up. The Bear lake trail is very picturesque, so are the other lake trails. The Alpine visitor center is a must visit. You can’t stop admiring the pristine beauty and elegance of this park while you are there.
For me, one of the best places that I've ever visited in my life. Best views with the snow, the animals, our guide was super cool and super friendly. Hope to come back one day to explore more, because I've only had the chance to see some parts. 💯💯💯💯💯
Breath taking views! This is one of my favorite places in America! We come every year for our anniversary and we will continue coming back! Pictures don’t do the views justice but they will have to do!
Amazing, wanted to stop at every stop. The beauty was breath taking. Saw elk, deer, and moose( from a safe distance of course) found a spot to get into the Colorado and take a family picture. All together a beautiful day drive.
It's our park. Who's house? Our house! This might be the most beautiful place in the world. It's definitely the most beautiful place in the United States. So much to do and so much to see, and it's owned by the citizens of the United States.
This was without a doubt one of the best and most impressive places my wife and I have visited together. We fell in love with the views of the Rocky Mountains, and the scenic drives. I highly recommend taking Trail Ridge Road to see it for yourself. Most importantly: make sure to plan ahead of time and make a reservation! If you don’t, you have to reserve the night before and it’s not guaranteed. Also: the line of cars backs up and gets SUPER long as the day progresses, so definitely go early.
Surreal to see it post fire after seeing it for years untouched!! Still a wonderful place to go and almost all staff encountered are super friendly and helpful. Great hiking trails and views. Have seen A TON of wildlife!!! It never gets old coming here!!
Only had time to stop for one stretch of trails, took around three hours and was full of beautiful sights and wildlife. Trails were very clearly marked with frequent signs providing direction and mileage, far more often and detailed than in most parks I’ve visited which can be very helpful. No potable water so be sure you have plenty before you enter
