Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
RMNP has a timed entry system from 9AM-2PM for general park access and 5AM-6PM for the Bear Lake Corridor. Bear Lake Corridor is home to some of our favorite hikes including Lake Haiyaha, The Loch, Gem Lake, Dream Lake, and much more. The general park access timed entry is perfect for sightseeing on the longest paved road in the United States crossing the continental divide at 12,183 feet. Time entry slots become available on June 1 - act fast as they fill up rapidly. There is also a shuttle service available through the National Park Service/Recreation.gov that books shuttle rides to and from the park. Those tickets become available on May 1.
