Rocky Mountain National Park Vacation and Trip Information

The entire Rocky Mountain National Park, in Colorado, is situated above an elevation of 7,500 feet. At least 60 mountains in the area are higher than 12,000 feet, and the highest point (at 14,259 feet) is Longs Peak.

In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation establishing Rocky Mountain National Park. Visit in winter and tour the park by cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Pack a picnic in the spring and check out the alpine flowers after the snow melts. Or scout out lakeside wildlife with the kids in summer. From camping to fishing, hiking to horseback riding, viewing wildlife to just taking in the scenery—the park has something for everyone.
