Rocky Mountain National Park is a land of
dramatic contrasts and stunning landscapes.
Located in the state of Colorado, this park is
home to majestic mountains, interesting
environments and glorious rivers and lakes.
Many of the mountains here exceed 12,000 feet
and make up the essence of the park. These
peaks are brilliantly contrasted against gorgeous
fields of delicate alpine flowers, crystal clear
lakes, rushing mountain waters and gloriously
dense forests.
Surrounded by natural areas like the Roosevelt National Forest, the Routt National Forest and
the Arapaho National Forest, this National Park is a must-visit while in this part of the United
States.
The warmest months in the park are usually July and August, when temperatures during the day
are pleasant. These tend to drop at night so it is necessary to take plenty of warm clothing.
Heavy snow begins to fall around mid-October and can last all the way through to May. During
spring the weather tends to be wet, with snow still falling at times.
