- TianxingzhePhoenixville, Pennsylvania25 contributionsone incredible drive in RMNPTrail Ridge Road is the highest paved road in any United States National Park, peaking at 12,183 feet. This scenic road offers breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains with several overlooks and stops with parking areas. You do need to pay attention while driving on this road, since there are a few places without guardrails, and many places with rock guard rails and thick trees, but overall, in my opinion it’s not as scary as I was led to believe after reading some other reviews. Make sure you stop at Forest Canyon and Alpine Visitor Center, and bring some warm clothing since it is much cooler and windy than Estes Park.Visited June 2024Traveled soloWritten June 30, 2024
- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, Virginia4,646 contributionsTremendous drive through RMNP at 12000 Feet.Just a stunning ride starting out at 5000 feet elevation and topping out at 12,200 feet. We started this journey with no expectations and were blown away with the amazing peaks of RMNP, the wonderful and amazing, vegetation and trees, animals grazing along the road. The real topper was getting out during the summertime and playing in the snow and making snowballs. The hair pin turns are not that bad as they have flattened the roads out pretty good. enjoy this several hour ride and take in RMNP in its best light!!!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 4, 2024
- laurapaul2018Compton, Canada151 contributionsSuper ScenicLots of spectacular views on this scenic drive. We did not have a timed entry, find this challenging but we were able to access the drive after the 2 p.m. deadline. Line up was a bit crazy but traffic flowed quite quickly once we got going. Lots of wildlife along the way, keep your eyes peeled, saw lots of elk and moose and deer. Winding road and need to be attentive especially at times of other drivers but wonderful.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 5, 2024

- yasemin2kFlorida354 contributionsWell worth the long drive from one end to otherWow this drive was pretty long but well worth it. We started around 5:30pm so that we can see the animals coming out feeding time and came out from other side by 9:30 ish. We did stop just few times to look out points. Then we saw elks playing on top of the mountain and around the snow area from distance. Than saw lots of deers and elks feeding in the low open fields. We got lucky and watched one elk swim cross that lake to meet with other elks in the field feeding. And bunch more around sunset. It was well worth the drive.Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 30, 2024
- RetiredTravelerTNNashville, Tennessee4,014 contributionsTook Our Time With All the OverlooksWe drove Trail Ridge Road on two different days -- early afternoon and early morning. We enjoyed all of the stops along the way from the east to as far as Lake Irene on the west side. The sun lights the overlooks differently at various times of the day. True to all I had read, afternoon rains are common. We were glad to have plenty of time to explore RMNP.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 30, 2024
- Kim WAcworth, Georgia149 contributionsThe ultimate road trip!!WOW. If you haven’t been to Rocky Mountain National Park you are missing out. Stunning vistas, wildlife, amazing hiking, and excellent camping spots. I only had a day for my visit so I opted to drive the Trail Ridge Road. This 55 mile stretch is the tallest continuously paved road in the USA. Topping out at 12,183ft above sea level you really are in the clouds. Takes about 3hrs to complete with a million stops for photos. About midway at the upper part is the Alpine Visitor Center for a rest. Pack snacks and lots of water as the altitude is no joke. I went 9/5 and had snow at the summit so be prepared for changing weather conditions. Absolutely worth doing.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 6, 2024
- GolfUMKAuburn, Alabama691 contributionsA must go if you visit RMNPTo travel this road is a must go while visiting RMNP. There are plenty of stops and the roads winds up to its highest point at 12,183 ft or 3.713 m. Unfortunately there a time entry constraints in the park to avoid overtourism. There are also trailheads on the road. Very recommended for hiking are Rock Cut and Deer Mountain. We‘d come back for sure.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 7, 2024

We took this trip 50 years later and it was breathtaking in a glorious way. Timed entry no problem. We planned to spend most the day there and did and still need to go back and see some more. I'm telling you man . . . tis drive is special. A must do and probably more than once.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten October 14, 2024
- USASUNZurich, Switzerland261 contributionsSchöne BergstrasseWe drove this road from Grand Lake to Estes Park. This mountain road with the many views is highly recommended. There are some stops and also small trails. Upstairs, next to the Alpine Visitor Center, you can have some food or drink in the restaurant with a nice view. In summer, however, there is a lot of activity here. We also encountered a group of deer halfway through. It is worth planning a little more time here, especially in nice weather.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 16, 2024

There are many valuable opinions about this park, I will try to give some information that may be of interest:
1) To visit the park, 3 days is a good amount to enjoy and see many beautiful places
2) To enter the circuits you need permission. This is done through an app, but be careful that it does not work well in Spanish. Ask for help to obtain them.
3) Entrance to the park is paid per vehicle (35 dollars). If you are going to visit several national parks, I suggest checking to see if the annual pass is a good option. (the weekly pass is per park and is not useful in another)
4) IF you have little time, without a doubt the best circuit is the Trail Ridge Road
5) A good option to sleep is the city of Estes Park. IF you are traveling through Colorado, a good alternative is to continue the trip leaving through Grand Lake
6) To save, it is good to have drinks and meals available in the vehicle.
7) Even though it is summer, it is very cold in the tundra, so I suggest bringing enough clothing.
8) There are many attractions and walking trails. Depending on time and physical fitness, I suggest planning the activities to do in advance.
9) Don't forget binoculars.
10) Although it may seem strange, the largest number of Elks are seen in the city of Este Park in the morning or in the late afternoon. Also in Morraine Park

From the Alpine Visitor Center to Estes Park, we drove the Trail Ridge Road for the first time, after having taken the Old Fall River Road from Estes Park to the Alpine Visitor Center.
Some stops on the Trailridge Road are not signposted at all or only for a short time, so you should just head for any parking lot that catches your eye. Actually, there really is always something to see!
At the very end, we even saw a bathing moose! That was great!
The next day, we drove back to the RMNP and drove the Trailridge Road first from east to west and then back. 3x Trailridge Road sounds like a lot, but I could drive there 300 times, it's just so beautiful!
That day, we even saw a lot of deer, walking along the side of the road with a ranger.
My favorite viewpoint is perhaps the Rainbow Curve Overlook and/or the Forest Canyon Overlook.
However, you have to book a time slot in addition to the entrance fee if you want to enter the park before 2 p.m. I can only recommend this, because in the afternoon the Trailridge Road is completely crowded, so it's definitely worth starting early!

I was a little hesitant when it was $30 per vehicle to enter the national park that contains this drive, but after driving through it it was totally worth it. We traveled in late May and there was still snow in the past. I do recommend being all the way to the top of the mountain before 5:00 p.m. because you can buy hot chocolate at a gift shop. Very enjoyable trip. We saw four moose, elk, and mule deer. Excellent drive.

Waking up in Longmont a bit before sunrise on morning in early October, I found the skies to be completely overcast with a steady drizzle and was afraid my plans for the day, beginning with a visit to Trail Ridge Road, may be a bust. Logging onto NPS’s website, then navigating to the RMNP site and the webcam feed from the Alpine Visitor Center, I saw that it was above the cloud cover and light coating of snow decorated the mountain tops and tundra.
Hustling to eat my breakfast and get ready, I headed to Trail Ridge Road and carefully drove through the pea soup thick fog at the lower elevations. Finally reaching the tree line and clear skies simultaneously, I was treated to a surrealistic view or soaring mountains covered in a candy coating of snow, tundra displaying autumn colors, and the clouds passing through the tree covered valleys as the rain dissipated below. Having the overlooks nearly to myself, the experience was fleeting as the snow was gone in less than two hours and the crowds began to build rapidly.
Even without snow, Trail Ridge Road was still spectacular and arriving early, avoiding the crowds and with the low angle of the sun adding visual warmth, even if the morning is a bit chilly, is worth the early alarm. I enjoyed exploring the entire length, driving all the way to Grand Lake, just outside the west entrance, turning around and returning to Estes Park, stopping at all the overlooks, hiking a few shorter trails and viewing elk near Holzwarth Historic Site and in the valley below the Alpine Visitor Center. However, if one is more limited in time, I would recommend turning around at the Farview Curve overlook as the road soon descends to the west side’s Kawuneeche Valley which is not nearly as spectacular as the rest.

Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful and easy to navigate to see in 2-days.
The park charges a $25 fee per day and definitely due to the virus you should book your reservation 2 hour time slot prior to arriving. We went while the weather was still very nice so I can't comment on what's it like to visit during the winter hours but there was a fire nearby that closed Trail Ridge Road but we got lucky and didn't have to turn around and go back out the west entrance. We were able to drive through the park and exit near Estes Park.
Definitely drive "Trail Ridge Road" during the summer before they close it down during the winter (we heard that it can be closed during the winter). The park offers a lot of hiking trails. Unfortunately during our visit both Visitor Centers were partially closed due to the virus and that was disappointing.
Not many people know this but the Colorado River starts inside this National Park but during our visit the trail to the site of the beginning wasn't open. If you visit maybe you can hike this trail to see the beginning of this famous river. I've heard that this is the THIRD most visited National Park in the country so if you visit I think you will be glad you did!

Get in before 9 without a pass and use the gypsyguide for the best tour. It will take all day if you go to Grand Lake but you cannot renter without a timed pass. Lot’s of places to stop along the way great scenery. Bring warm clothes for the top. It’s windy and cold at Alpine. Also good to bring food for a picnic. Sheep meadow was good for seeing moose. Visitor centerS were not that helpful

This is an absolutely breathtaking road (maybe in more ways than one if you struggle with the elevation like I did). It is amazing to see the change in scenery as you go along. We did the whole road from Grand Lake to Estes, and then one evening went halfway up from Estes to the Alpine Visitor Center. Highly recommend driving the whole thing at least once, and it does take the good half of a day if you do the stops. Definite evidence of the fire when starting out in Grand Lake but it got scenic very quickly. I have never struggled with mountain road drives, have done Newfound Gap, Icefields Parkway, and the Blue Ridge Parkway and been totally fine but there are many parts of this road that gave me extreme anxiety, specifically around the tundra. Absolutely worth seeing but do keep in mind if you are scared of heights or just scary roads. Whoever is driving needs to be very careful and mindful. I can't express how beautiful it was though, and I loved seeing the tundra because I had never seen anything like that before. We saw a herd of elk around the top which was surprising! It got pretty cold and extremely windy so bring a jacket. You can stop at the visitor center, which is the biggest and best in the park, and they even have a little cafe.

This is an amazing trail. When cloudy or stormy however visibility is almost nonexistent! Also we thought reservations were a must. The only time slot was 4pm so we waited. We later found out by park staff we could have came before 9am and not needed a reservation. Also we were able to get into the park earlier than our time just could not go into bear lake until our time slot!

This highway ( Highway 34) runs through the RMNP connecting the eastern and western sections (Estes Park and Grand Lake). This is a fabulous scenic route and is about 3 hours one-way. There are many view points (some with bathrooms) along the way and the Alpine Visitors Center is located along the route towards the western side. It is paved but has some hairpin turns. We took it in mid August and it was great. As of early November it is closed for the season which generally runs from Memorial Day to late September — pls check ahead.

We drove this in June when there was still snow on the higher altitudes. Scenery was stunning. We drove the whole road but when we were almost through it, the ranger at the alpine visitor center tested us and told us to get to lower altitude. There are many nice overlooks to enjoy. Road has some steep drop offs with no guard rails in area but the majority is no problem in good condition. Closed during winter.

Hello, my husband and I would like to drive through the park starting at Grand Lake and ending in Estes Park with some stops and a hike along the way. If we enter prior to 9:00, can we stay in the park all day without a timed reservation? Also, are there hikes along the way that are recommended? Thank you!

In early September I will be staying in Denver two nights and then traveling to Estes Park for the last two days. Does it make sense to do both peak to peak and trail ridge on the way from Denver to Estes Park? What’s the best way to do that? And is it advisable? Thank you in advance.

Hello,
We plan on doing the trail ridge road on the 5th and have the ticket for between 9-11am entry. We are staying in Estes Park. This is the only activity we have planned for the day and will be visiting with 3 year and 6 year old.
I had initially only planned to drive up to the Alpine visitor center and turn back but wanted to check if the recommended is to drive all the way to grand lake? Do you take HW 34 or take HW 36 to HW34?
If we do the entire drive and also make stops at the scenic lookovers, how much time should be plan for?
I see Alpine Ridge trail is a nice easy hike, are there any other short hikes along the way that are recommended?
Also, we plan on stopping at the popular overlooks; Forest Canyon, Rainbow Curve, Many Parks Curve etc, Are there stops along the way with waterfalls etc that we can stop along the way?
appreciate your feedback in advance.
Thnx!

Yes I tried to get tickets right at 5 PM but they were literally literally sold out within 3 minutes (both my husband and I were logged on the site using our phones, clicking exactly at 5 PM ). I just went there a couple weeks ago but I believe you can go through the fall river road entry without a reservation before 9 AM, and before 5am for the Bear Lake Road entry. good luck!

There are currently no wildfires burning in or near RMNP. Last year, smoke from wildfires in other western states (like California) also impacted air quality in Colorado including in RMNP. There is no way at this time to predict what the wildfire situation will be in Colorado or in other states during the time of your visit. Most of RMNP is currently not in any form of drought. That helps reduce wildfire risk. There are still millions of beetle killed trees in RMNP which increase the wildfire risk. You will see wildfire damage in RMNP, particularly on the west side, when traveling Trail Ridge Road. That damage occurred in October 2020 during the East Troublesome wildfire.

For starters, Trail Ridge Road will not be open. Most of the areas of RMNP above around 9,000 ft. are still covered in ice and snow during the time of your visit. Hiking will be primarily with snowshoes or traction devices for snowy/icy trails. RMNP always seems to get a significant snowfall around Mother's Day and even later in May. For more details about your visit, you need to post your question in the TripAdvisor Rocky Mountain National Park Travel Forum. Google it for the link. TripAdvisor does not permit links in these questions or I would give it to you. There are already multiple questions and answers on the TripAdvisor Rocky Mountain National Park Travel Forum that discuss what it is like to visit the park in early to mid-May.

Yes. RMNP rangers will tell you that the parking lot at the Alpine Visitor Center is frequently full between 10 am and 3 pm. If the parking lot is full, rangers will not permit you to enter the parking lot. You will have to drive past the Alpine Visitor Center and hope that parking opens up later.

Trail Ridge Road is not scheduled to open for the season until May 28, 2021. During the time of your visit, Trail Ridge Road will be open about 8 miles from the east side entrances to Many Parks Curve (9,640 ft.) weather permitting. If snow plowing operations and weather allow, Trail Ridge Road may be open an additional 4 miles to Rainbow Curve (10,829 ft.). Other than the dirt Old Fall River Road, all other main roads in RMNP will be open by the time of your visit. For more information, see the TripAdvisor Travel Forums for Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. I would give you the links, but TA does not permit links in these answers. Google TripAdvisor Colorado Travel Forum and you will be directed to the correct place.
