My husband and I visited RMNP for our honeymoon and were blown away by its beauty. This prompted us to start visiting as many parks as we can. We’ve visited 24 (soon to be 25) in the past 6 years and look forward to visiting many more.
Sincerely,
Rocky Mountain National Park
This dramatic landscape of towering mountains and alpine lakes encompasses more than 265,000 acres - 95% of which are designated wilderness. With this intentional focus on protecting this unique landscape, there are few developed infrastructure areas in the park, which leads to traffic problems in areas including the Bear Lake Road Corridor and right off Trail Ridge Road. Alpine tundra also encompasses approximately 1/3 of the park. Alpine tundra is a fundamental and fragile resource, which requires park managers to give this ecosystem increased attention for protection.

Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park
I am amazed with the park beauty . It’s beautiful from every angle I travelled across the park. Most amazing thing was about the maintaining a comfortable drive across the park be it trail ridge road or pikes peak. Seven seas is amazing and my list could go endless. Thanks…
