Soaring mountain peaks, clear alpine lakes, and lush forests; the Rocky Mountain National Park showcases nature at its magnificent best. Located near the mountain town of Estes Park, the Rocky has more than 100 peaks over 10,000 feet. The Longs Peak, at 14,259 feet, is the highest peak.

The standout feature of the Rocky is its incredible terrain. And you can easily access it with the Trail Ridge Road, which provides the main driving route at an impressive altitude of 12,000 feet. The best part is that you can experience Rocky’s terrain from the snug comfort of your car or with an easy hike.

The park is a dream for hiking enthusiasts. Extensive hiking trails ranging from a half-mile to full-day and multi-day hikes sweep around the Rocky. Expect the company of elks, bighorn sheep, and deers on the trails.

Summer is the season that the Rocky Mountain National Park truly comes alive. You can indulge in popular activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and bouldering.
