- ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK -
The Rocky Mountain National Park, located in Colorado, is
one of the most popular parks in the country to visit, not
only during the spring season, but all year long. There are
usually upwards of 4.5 million visitors that make their way
to the Rocky Mountain National Park each year.
The park is just over 265,000 acres in area, and is home
to a diverse ecosystem, from woodlands to a mountain tun-
dra, along with a variety of wildlife that inhabit the land. The
Continental Divide runs directly through the center of the
park, making it a unique park to visit for that reason alone.
The headwaters of the Colorado River are also located in
the park’s northwestern lands, and all of this accounts for
the many different habitats within the park.
The busiest times to visit Rocky Mountain National Park are
in the summer and fall months, so heading there in spring
is a good idea if you are hoping to avoid all the high traffic.
The spring season is also the perfect time to visit to still
catch some of that iconic snowcapped mountain scenery,
and by May, the park will be in full bloom, with thousands
of wildflowers blossoming over the land.
There are so many things to do within the park that
everyone will find something to enjoy. Spend your time
in the park fishing, hiking, climbing, horseback riding,
whitewater rafting, four-wheeling, star watching, and so
much more. Astronomy programs don’t start until the
summer season, but that is no excuse not to spend a
night under the famous blanket of stars that can be
viewed within the park. You will be astonished by how
beautiful the night skies are here.
