What is the best 1-2 hour hike in Rocky Mountain National Park?
Rocky Mountain National Park is a park for hikers. More than 355 miles of trails provide access to remote areas of the park so you can escape the crowds and savor the streams, meadows, and mountains. Because great numbers of people visit the park in the summer, some trails are heavily used. To avoid congestion, ask a ranger to suggest lightly used trails. For on-your-own learning experiences, the park offers self-guided trails. Pick up a folder describing features along these trails at the trailhead or at a visitor center. All distances are one way unless listed as a loop and in miles and elevations are in feet.
