Rocky Mountain Vacation

When planning a Rocky Mountain Vacation, think about what activities will be available during your stay. There’s plenty to do no matter when you decide to visit.

Getting to your Rocky Mountain vacation can be fun. There is no train service to the Park, and the only way to easily get around within the park is by car. A popular option is to fly in to Denver and rent a car. On a Rocky Mountain Vacation either renting or driving your own vehicle to the park is really your only option in order to see all there is to see. Distances might seem small within the park, but traveling on mountain highways takes more time and caution, and there are frequent traffic back-ups on the Parks mostly two-lane roads.
If you are planning a Rocky Mountain Vacation, choosing where to stay may be the hardest part. Lodging is available year-round and comes in all types, sizes, and price ranges. There’s a perfect place for you and your family to stay no matter what you have planned for your Rocky Mountain Vacation.

If you are on a limited budget, try one of the many hotels within a few miles of one of the Park’s entrances. Rooms with one queen bed start for as little as $59 a day in the low season. Many hotels also have honeymoon suites and family suites. Restaurants are within a short walking distance from most hotels.
No Rocky Mountain Vacation is complete without a guided tour of the park. Ride in air-conditioned comfort during summer or enjoy the majesty of winter in Rocky Mountain National Park from motor coaches. Learn about the park’s history, wildlife, geology, and current issues that affect the park. If you would rather go it alone, rental cars are available nearby.

A Rocky Mountain Vacation in winter can include cross country skiing and snowshoeing, as well as guided snowmobile trips. Summer time a Rocky Mountain Vacation can include hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, camping, and horseback riding. What are you going to try first?

Camping or overnight vehicle parking in pullouts, picnic areas, picnic grounds, or any place other than a designated campground are not permitted and there are no overflow camping facilities. However, camping is often available in neighboring communities and forests outside the park.
