ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the country's most visited parks. The region features breathtaking peaks in virtually every direction and an unspoiled, panoramic view of nature at its finest. Because of its unique characteristics, it is not surprising that Rocky Mountain offers some of the most spectacular outdoor adventure opportunities on the planet.

Inside the Park, 110 peaks reach as high as 11,000 feet in altitude, including the celebrated Longs Peak, which boasts a height of 14,260 feet. The beautiful scenery in this area can be viewed by car, on foot or from horseback. Trail Ridge Road is the most popular route among tourists and interestingly, it is North America's highest continuously paved roadway. If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you can also anticipate seeing a broad range of birds and animals in their natural habitat, as well as other unforgettable sites. Regardless of what you have in mind for your visit, adventure awaits you in this unspoiled collection of mountains and valleys.

If you are searching for an interesting and unusual entertainment venue, you should consider an excursion to Colorado's famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. Situated about 30 minutes from Denver and nestled among 400 foot tall sandstone and red rock formations, the Amphitheater has a long history of offering a variety of music venues to visitors of all ages. For the past 35 years, this stunning 9000 seat theater has provided unparalleled views of the area's breathtaking scenery, the latter of which serves as an ideal backdrop for the Theater's stage. Unlike any other establishment of its type in the United States, the Red Rocks Amphitheater is truly a sight to behold.

Hiking tours offering glorious views of the Colorado sun rising and setting are available in abundance. Colorado's Lookout Mountain in the town of Golden is a 4 1/2 mile hike and offers a perfect view of Denver as it springs to life in the morning. If you enjoy Lake sunrises, you should consider watching the sun come up at Sloan’s Lake. The latter is the Denver Metro area's largest lake, and is an excellent place to view a spectacular sunrise. Another great option is Mount Falcon, located just off Morrison. It is an easy 2 mile hike and is famous for its beautiful scenery at sunrise. The Kenosha Pass Trail is another ideal choice for a sunset hiking tour. Although it totals approximately eight miles round-trip, you need only hike approximately three miles before reaching a spot where enchanting views of the surrounding mountain ranges can be viewed.
