About Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park encompasses 415 square miles of alpine wilderness where Trail Ridge Road crests at 12,183 feet, revealing Colorado's spine. Forty-nine peaks exceed 12,000 feet, glaciers persist in sheltered cirques, and tundra ecology persists at the summit. The park straddles the Continental Divide.
