Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is an awesome place in the high Rocky Mountains of Colorado with beautiful vistas of the landscape and wildlife, an exciting and scenic road, and plenty of hikes. There’s something for everyone here and it’s absolutely worth the trip.
Like many places out west, the National Park has seen the number of visitors sky rocket so they have enacted a timed reservation entry, which will be the way for most parks in the future, I imagine. So make sure you book your journey or arrive before 5am or after 6pm.
The scenic drive that connects the two sides of the park is called Trail Ridge Road or the Highway to the Sky and is 48 miles of astonishing views.
Absolutely be on the lookout for all the amazing wildlife from Eagles to Elk and the Pleistocene hangover, the Moose.
The two popular places to stay are Estes Park and Grand Lake and both are gorgeous towns, although Grand Lake is quieter and more remote but Estes Park has got it all.
