  1. National Parks & State Parks

Rocky Mountain National Park

The park contains 359 miles of trails, 150 lakes, and 450 miles of streams. There are 72 named peaks higher than 12,000 feet, and over one fourth of the park resides above tree line. The highest point of the park is Longs Peak, which rises to 14,259 feet. President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill creating this park on January 26, 1915. The park has expanded over the years, with the largest parcel — the Never Summer Range — added in 1929. The 1920s saw a boom in building lodges and roads in the park, culminating with the construction of Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in the United States, between 1929 and 1933.
