THINGS TO DO
Rocky Mountain National Park
The crown jewel of Colorado encompasses more than 265,000 acres of wilderness — prime for hiking, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing. With more than a third less traffic than the Estes Park entrances, you'll be able to hit the trails early, catch a glimpse of moose in the early mornings and evenings, and hear elk bugling during mating season in the fall.
Trail Ridge Road: the highest continuous paved road in the U.S., connects Grand Lake to Estes Park, cutting through the park with beautiful scenery along the way.
