Rocky Mountain National Park

Sunset along Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park
Encompassing over 1075 km² (415 mi²) with views cresting over to 3.5 km (12000 ft), Rocky Mountain National Park is a large and diverse place to visit. The environments range from montane meadows, to subalpine forests, up to alpine tundra. Black bears, bighorn sheep, marmots, and elk as just a few of the likely wildlife to be spotted in the area. The national park and surrounding areas provide a number of possible activities, from hiking and camping at one of the numerous sites within the park, to rafting and boating at nearby Estes Park.
