Rocky Mountain

Rocky Mountain National Park is a place where every season feels like a new adventure. In the fall, the golden aspens turn the mountainsides into living paintings. Winter brings frozen waterfalls and snow-dusted peaks that shimmer in the sunlight. Summer opens up alpine meadows filled with wildflowers and wildlife, elk bugling in the valleys, marmots sunning themselves on the rocks, and bighorn sheep navigating steep cliffs.

Established in 1915, Rocky Mountain protects over 400 square miles of Colorado’s iconic high country, from lush forests to windswept tundra. Trail Ridge Road climbs higher than any other continuous paved road in the U.S., offering sweeping views that capture the park’s rugged beauty and endless horizon of peaks.

For me, this park is unforgettable in every season, whether chasing fall color, hiking icy trails to frozen cascades, or soaking in the summer’s vibrant life. Rocky Mountain embodies the wild, timeless spirit of the American West.
