Coming through Grand Lake, and into the Rocky Mountain National Park, your first Visitor Center is at Kawuneeche.
Continuing along Trail Ridge Road, there are a variety of lower altitude trails through gorgeous lakes and rivers.
In the summer season, you can see thick carpets of lush grass; endless forests of tall, stately trees; stunning bursts of colorful wildflowers; and, hopefully, you’ll luck out with the occasional wildlife encounter!
As you begin your ascent in altitude, you’ll negotiate some crazy curves and hairpin turns; and the ecosystems will shift before your very eyes!
The lower lying valleys are vastly different than the higher altitude alpine tundras!
Take some time to enjoy the different areas as you spend time in each!
Trail Ridge Road is one of our nation’s ULTIMATE scenic routes!
You can also start from the east in Estes Park, and then head west into Grand Lake!
