Rocky Mountain National Park :-
Established on January 26, 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park is
a living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. With elevations
ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the
weather-ravaged top of Longs Peak, a visitor to the park has opportunities
for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures.
Elk, mule deer, moose, bighorn sheep, black bears, coyotes, cougars, eagles,
hawks and scores of smaller animals delight wildlife-watchers of all ages.
Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows
and hillsides are splashed with botanical color. Autumn visitors can relax
among the golden aspens or enjoy the rowdier antics of the elk rut (mating
season). 359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers, backpackers
and horseback riders. Fly fishers, bird-watchers and photographers discover
the splendor that they traveled so far to find. During the winter, snowshoers
and cross-country skiers revel in the white-blanketed tranquility of meadows
and forests. 359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers, backpackers
