Rocky Mountain National Park

About Rocky Mountain National Park

The park was established by Congress on January 26, 1915 and showcases the majestic splendor of the Rocky Mountains in a series of spectacular landscapes, from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Grand Canyon and Sierra Nevada.

Trail Ridge Road crosses the continental divide and looks out over dozens of peaks that rise more than 13,000 feet. Longs Peak, the highest peak in the park, is 14,259 m high, and the highlight of Trail Ridge Road is 12,183 m. The road has been closed for several years due to the construction of the Rocky Mountain National Park Trail.

People with various medical problems should consult their doctor before visiting the park and also contact their local doctor for more information about medical conditions.

Hiking is possible on 359 km of hiking trails, many of which are home to the National Park.

Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are very popular in the winter months, but you can hike on one of the many hiking trails in any season.

June and July are the best months to see wildflowers, but weather conditions dictate when and where the flowers bloom. Therefore, call 970 - 586 - 1206 for up-to-date information. In autumn, the elk migration and mating season is a great opportunity not only to see these magnificent animals, but also to get to know them.

The park also works with Native American groups to understand and protect resources within the park that are important to indigenous cultures. The wilderness is managed by nearly 90 parks and includes more than 1,000 kilometers of trails and trails in the Rocky Mountain National Park System.

When Congress passed the Rocky Mountain National Park Act in 1915, lawmakers focused on the Rocky Mountains "natural wonders. Early superintendents tried to develop roads, huts and paths that blended into the surrounding area, but the park held out. Rangers suppressed fires, planted seedlings, controlled predators and manipulated the landscape to appear more natural.

The National Park Service bought private land, removed access barriers such as roads, bridges, paths and parking lots, and introduced new ways to increase the number of park visitors from around the country.

Like many parks, Rocky suffered from outdated facilities, but Mission 66 brought new facilities to Rocky Mountain National Park, including a new visitor center and viewing points. Mission 66 also brought more than 1.5 million visitors to the Rockies from the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries.

In the 1960 "s, as the Cultural Revolution swept the nation, Congress passed important environmental laws to protect America's landscapes. Over the years, other cultural resources have been identified and protected in Rocky Mountain National Park. Today, teams of specialists in culture and natural resources work together to protect the park's resources. Many are run by members of the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife Service (CPWS).

Rocky Mountain National Park has more than 2,000 cultural resources, many of which are controlled by the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife Service (CPWS). Few people know the area of the park's cultural resources through the Rocky Mountains National Wildlife Refuge (RNPWR), the Great Smoky Mountains Wilderness Area (GMA) and the grasslands along the Colorado River.
