This place is just stunningly beautiful. If you really want an experience, trek here during sunset , set up camp and wake up for the beautiful sunrise. This place is cold, so be prepared.

Believe the hype. Stunningly gorgeous scenery . Wild animals. Lava formations. Make sure your gas tank is full & take water in with you. Hydration is key. Altitude sickness is real. Enjoy.

Drive through and discover the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains . Come in the winter when blankets of white snow envelop the scenery. Snowboarding venues are also available. Fun for the entire family!

Ebrahim Bandookwala

Beautiful views and vistas ! All kinds of vegetation , don't miss the Alpine tundra but don't stay past an hour before sunset ! It gets very chilly very fast!

Aline Vaz

Well , who goes thinking it is a small park , it is not. You need at least two days to visit all the places in the park . For the ones going, I suggest to take a look in the Bear Lake and the Dream Lake

Ashley

Nothing is dog-friendly and the park rangers were being jerks to everyone. Super disappointed and not sure if I want to go back. Mountains and trails were still awesome, of course.

Michael Castillo

Rock a literal breath taking n scary ride..take the old miners route up the mountain to the summit. Warning it's only one lane over cliffs that drop off 12k ft. No rails, n great photo ops!

Chris R

Loved exploring creation here with my family. You could spend a week alone here just taking it all in. Ready to go back!

Stephen Koontz

There are so many amazing options for hiking , biking , camping . I recommend taking one day to do each and then another to visit Estes Park.

YMCA of the Rockies

Be sure to drive up Trail Ridge Road and stop at the Alpine Visitors Center to learn about the Park 's flora and fauna. Sunrise and Sunset are great times to catch the view from the top.

Alli Debruyn

Best things to do in the park are hike , look for animals, and drive to the top. Also talk to rangers in the visitor center. They always have great recommendations!

David Pitts

An essential national park . Great hiking opportunities and incredible mountain views . If your Jetta dies halfway up the dirt road climb, don't panic.

Meredith Pocius

The scenic view is good to look at and the small part of the river is near the picnic area in Rocky mountain national park.

Lee Higbee

The weather beat us. Trail Ridge Road was closed. Still loved what we were able to see. Lots of elk . October

Nick Bergus

Hiking trails galore. Highlights include the heavily trafficked Gem Lake and the solitude of Allenspark Trail .

YMCA of the Rockies

Looking to add a little off-road adventure to your visit? Take a drive up Old Fall River Road to the Alpine Visitors Center. You need 4WD/AWD, but it's well worth the fun drive and great views .

Guthrie Gundy

Beautiful and gorgeous anytime! Can get really busy on weekends during the summer!

Emilio Chavez

Breathtaking national park ! It would take you years to explore the park by yourself! I'd recommend you to explore it don't just drive through.

Jon Darveau

Hike the trails duh! Come in Fall for Elk rutting season and you'll see them all over the place

Terence Chan

Breathtaking beauty! Well paved roads . Amazing. No words to describe! Must visit!

YMCA of the Rockies

During autumn the elk in the Park put on a show for their fall rut. Late September is when the bugling activity peaks, plus you'll catch the changing colors of the Aspen trees .

TripStory

Head into the mountains and go for a hike . Check out the elk . If it's winter bring your snow shoes . Stop in at the visitor center for tips, advice and maps.

Michael Castillo

Hogwarts house at the beginning of the Col river . It's great. Step foot in the trickle beginnings of the mighty Colorado River

Erik Laing

Definitely a park to get out of your car and hike . If you don't, you are missing out on much the park has to offer.

Condé Nast Traveler

Skyscraping peaks and delicate alpine tundra, bighorn sheep scaling jagged cliffs, and glacier-carved valleys. Read more

Jeremy Moore

Lots of great scenic views and breathtaking scapes. It was cold when we visited so be sure to bundle up just in case!

Georgia Luddecke

Hike the Emerald Lake Trail - absolutely beautiful and quite easy.

Danny

Just got to see a small area of it but super beautiful around Bierstadt & Bear lake

Hit the trails before 8 am to beat the crowds during busy times!

Brianna Alers

There are fun junior ranger programs for children! The wild life and nature are so beautiful!

P. Marie

Make sure you hike the Ouzel Falls Trail . Its a light hike and so beautiful.

NED CAMPBELL

Unbelievable park . Beautiful views , incredible drive through the park .

Eric Highland

Gorgeous and stunning. The NPS rangers are fabulous and helpful.

Melissa Keener

Went up to bear lake . Freezing, but beautiful! We loved it!

Dennis Murray

Use the Fall River entrance if you are coming in from the Estes Park side.

HikingDiva .

I camped at Longs Peak - nice views - very "bear aware" but did not have any incidents. Sites are decently-spaced apart on exterior sides.

WEI WEI

Morning (before 9am) and evening(6-7pm) are good hours for wildlife viewing

El

Beautiful. Lots of fun trails . We saw elks and deers.

Doug Leavy

Prolly hands down one of my favorite places in the world. So much beauty in one place!

Charles Kelley

The bighorn sheep go to sheep lakes around 9am in the morning. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse!

Visit Colorado 360

At the top of Trail Ridge Road park at the visitors center and take the short hike up to Marmot Point. The views are worth it!

Ju Le

The national park is amazing but we unfortunately had really unfriendly staff . ????

Sagar Puro

With heights of more than 10000 feet..the views are literally breath taking..awesome

Doug W

Get here early, find a trailhead for your ability, and get out of the car!

Depending on the terrain and your speed, hiking will burn about 405 calories an hour. Get out there and enjoy this beautiful park ! Read more

Emilio C

A must visit if you live in the Denver area.

Hal WALFIELD

Make sure to enjoy the sunsetting !

HikingDiva .

There's a lot of construction going on right now toward Bear Lake . Waited more than 30mins while 18wheelers went back & forth. Finally gave up.

Fares Aljumaid

Best view I ever seen in my whole Life !
