The Best of Rocky Mountain National Park
Hiking
Avid hikers will have plenty of room to roam in Rocky Mountain National Park, which boasts 355 miles of hiking trails. And even if you’re not an avid hiker, family-friendly and beginner trails with rewarding views may turn you into one by the end of your stay. So, pack your sturdy hiking shoes and be ready for an adventure on foot!
From flat hikes that loop scenically around a lake, such as the Bear Lake or Lily Lake loops, to all-day treks with serious elevation gain, you’ll find a wide range of hiking options within the park. For something more challenging, consider making the 8.5-mile trek to Chasm Lake or hiking to Ouzel Falls, where you’ll be rewarded with a 40-foot cascade. Whether your hike is long or short, it is well worth it to leave the pavement behind and embrace the beauty of nature within Rocky Mountain National Park!
Scenic Drives
If you want all the scenery without the physical effort, consider taking a scenic drive that will provide spectacular vistas of the park. Old Fall River Road and Trail Ridge Road are two popular routes you’ll want to be sure to explore. Pack the car with plenty of snacks and a camera and set out on a road trip to be remembered! Trail Ridge Road is a national designated All American Road, providing spectacular scenery along the route. Stretching 48 miles between Estes Park and Grand Lake, you’ll have plenty of miles to soak in the views. And if you don’t want to travel the full length of the road, it’s easy to meander as long as you’d like before turning back to Estes Park. The road climbs around 4,000 feet within minutes from the start, taking travelers through a wide variety of terrain that includes pine forests, subalpine forests of fir and spruce, and alpine tundra. Eventually traveling above the tree line at an elevation near 11,500 feet, spectacular views await on this scenic road trip.
Old Fall River Road is another great route to explore from the comfort of your vehicle. Without the glamour of Trail Ridge Road, which is known for being the highest continuous paved road in the nation, Old Fall River Road is often overlooked. However, this mostly gravel 11-mile-long road offers a journey meant to be savored. Often one-way and dotted with 15-miles-per-hour speed limit signs, Old Fall River Road is for the traveler who wants to get off the beaten path while taking in scenic nature views.
Fishing
A Colorado fishing license provides access to an abundance of fishing opportunities within the park’s bounds. With numerous lakes and streams at your fingertips, your Rocky Mountain National Park fishing experience is sure to be memorable!
