On top of the World

Humans have inhabited the area for well over ten thousand years when the large glaciers began to receded shaping the landscape of what is today known as Rocky Mountain National Park.  In 1915 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Rocky Mountain National Park Act, giving birth to the park that sees more yearly visitors than any other park in Colorado.

In 1929 acts passed by government to give the unemployed jobs lead to the paving of Trail Ridge Road, replacing the narrow and treacherous Fall River Road that had become insufficient for the the increasing number our guests the park was receiving.  Unlike Yellowstone and Glacier, Rocky Mountain National park has never been serviced by train and has always remained a destination of the automobile tourist.

From scenic drives (eight miles of road over eleven thousand feet) to activities for the most hardcore outdoor adventurists the park with over sixty mountains over twelve thousand feet in elevation truly has something for all.
