Rocky Mountain National Park's 350 miles of trails take you to high mountain peaks, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, fields of wildflowers, mountain forests, high meadows and alpine tundra. There's hiking for all ages and abilities - whether your goal is a short nature walk around a high-mountain lake or a multi-day trek along the Continental Divide. So many trails leading to so many beautiful spots make hiking a very popular activity in the park.

Roosevelt National Forest on the east side of Estes Park offers lower elevation trails up mountains, through forests and to historic sites. Some of these less-trafficked trails are also open to bikes, horses and dogs. MORE . . .
