Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado spans the Continental Divide and encompasses protected mountains, forests and alpine tundra. It's known for the Trail Ridge Road and the Old Fall River Road, drives that pass aspen trees and rivers. The Keyhole Route, a climb crossing vertical rock faces, leads up Longs Peak, the park’s tallest mountain. A trail surrounding Bear Lake offers views of the peaks
Don't let the name fool you — Winter Park has plenty to do all year. Just a 90-minute drive from Denver, it’s the best spot for a weekend of skiing or mountain biking. And thanks to signature events like Blues From the Top Music Festival and the Rocky Mountain Wine Fest, you can always pair your trip with entertainment. Stroll around downtown, explore local shops and eateries, and enjoy live music and festivals at Hideaway Park.
