We are lucky to have Rocky Mountain National Park so close to home. Every time I visit I'm thankful for the dedicated National Park Service (NPS) staff protecting this incredible landscape and that it’s here for all of us to enjoy.
Join NPCA and our allies at the Sierra Club on Saturday, April 20 for a day of learning, food and outdoor fun as we kick off National Park Week at Rocky Mountain National Park!
We’ll start the day with a special presentation from NPS about current efforts to celebrate the park and address its challenges. You’ll meet NPCA and Sierra Club staff working to protect this special place, then we’ll gather for a meal and head into the park for a lovely hike at Sprague Lake. Admission to the park is free this day!
