About Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park, located in north-central Colorado just 90 minutes from Denver, stands as one of America's most spectacular mountain sanctuaries—a 415-square-mile wilderness featuring towering peaks, pristine alpine lakes, and abundant wildlife. The park welcomes over 4.5 million annual visitors who come to experience elevations ranging from 7,860 feet to 14,259 feet atop Longs Peak, creating diverse ecosystems from montane forests to alpine tundra. Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in North America at 12,183 feet, offers breathtaking Continental Divide views. The park contains 150 lakes, 450 miles of streams, and 355 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy lakeside walks to challenging mountain summits. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with herds of elk (particularly spectacular during September's rutting season when bulls bugle across meadows), bighorn sheep scaling rocky cliffs, moose browsing willow wetlands, and marmots whistling from boulder fields. Whether you've watched sunrise at Bear Lake, driven Trail Ridge Road through alpine tundra, witnessed elk herds in Moraine Park, hiked to Alberta Falls, or summited Longs Peak, this minimalist artwork honors the awe-inspiring landscapes and adventurous spirit of Colorado's beloved mountain park.
