FAQ
Established
by Congress on January 26, 1915, the park exhibits the massive grandeur of the
Rocky Mountains. Trail Ridge Road crosses the Continental Divide and looks out
over dozens of peaks that tower more than 13,000 feet high. Longs Peak, the highest
peak in the park, is 14,259' in elevation. The high point on Trail Ridge Road
is 12,183'. The road is closed from late fall, to the Memorial Day weekend. Because
of the high elevation of the park (8,000' to over 14,000') visitors need to take
time to acclimatize. People with various medical problems should check with their
physician before coming to the park. Elk, mule deer, big horn sheep, moose, coyotes
and a great variety of smaller animals call the 416 square miles (265,769 acres)of
the National Park home. During the winter months snowshoeing and cross country
skiing are very popular. Hiking is available on 355 miles of trails. Many trails
can be hiked any time of the year. June and July are the best months for seeing
the wild flowers. Weather conditions determine when and where flowers bloom; call
970-586-1206 for up to date information. In the fall, viewing the elk rut (mating
season) is a wonderful opportunity to see and learn about these magnificent large
animals. Almost 90% of the park is managed as wilderness, making it a great place
to enjoy solitude and the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. History and Culture
Rocky Mountain National Park has great natural resources, but did you
know that it has great cultural resources, too? Cultural resources include historic
structures (such as roads and bridges), cultural landscapes, archaeological sites,
museum artifacts, and historic buildings.
Holzwarth-Never Summer Ranch,
in the Kawuneeche Valley, is open to the public during the summer season. Visit
this former trout lodge and guest ranch during your visit to the park.
Historic Buildings
There are more than 100 historic buildings in Rocky Mountain
National Park, a fraction of the buildings once found within park boundaries.
For much of the twentieth century, the National Park Service considered Rocky
Mountain a natural park, and therefore management decisions aimed to return the
landscape to pre-human conditions. Though some buildings were protected, not until
1988 was the "natural" designation lifted and a new mandate towards historic preservation
embraced. Since then, numerous park buildings have been restored or rehabilitated.
The Beaver Meadows Visitor Center received the highest designation possible for
historic sites in the nation; it became a National Historic Landmark in January
2001. In September 2001, Rocky Mountain National Park completed its Historic Building
Treatment Plan, which assessed the physical condition and historic integrity of
each historic building and prioritized them according to condition, use, available
funding, and estimated cost.
