Lonely Planet Experiences: Private Excursion to Rocky Mountain National Park
Duration
9 hours
Overview
-
With the world’s longest natural mountain barrier, the Rocky Mountains are a geological feature which define the American and Canadian topography. To visit in-person is the best way to truly to take in their immensity.
Simply by being in the mile high-city, you're already well on your way into exploring the Rockies. But to really experience the mountains as they have stood for thousands of years - one must visit the national park, which offers uninterrupted landscapes of protected wilderness for over 350 square miles. From late spring through early fall, the alpine tundras are covered in wildflowers and burgeoning wildlife. When the snow has melted, one of the scenic roads provides easy access to the Continental Divide, where water flows on the West to the Pacific and on the East to the Atlantic. In the winter, Colorado becomes a ski haven, gifting snowy and peaceful scenery. No matter the time of year, a trip to Denver simply must include a trip to Rocky Mountains National Park!
