Established on January 29, 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park is a living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. The park embraces 415 square miles of pristine, uninhabited mountains in north-central Colorado and, as such, is one of the most spectacular, yet easily accessible high mountain areas in North America. With elevations ranging from 7,800 feet at park headquarters to 14,259 feet at the summit of Longs Peak, the Park has glacier-sculptured valleys, rugged gorges, alpine lakes, and the vast areas of alpine tundra. Trail Ridge Road, the highest paved continuous road in the United States, stays above tree line for 11 miles and reaches 12,183 feet in elevation. Elk, deer, bighorn sheep, moose, coyotes, and smaller animals are found throughout the Park; as well as, threatened and endangered species, such as the Greenback Cutthroat Trout and Boreal Toad. Due to the Park’s easy accessibility to the Front Range communities of Colorado, visitation exceeds 3 million visitors annually, which results in significant resource protection and visitor management incidents.
