Trail Ridge Road
Rocky Mountain National Park | Top Pick
Trail Ridge Road is the highway through Rocky Mountain National Park that connects Grand Lake on the West side to Estes Park on the east side. Everyone should make this drive at least once in their life. Trail Ridge is open only during the summer. Bring a cooler with drinks and snacks, or a full picnic. Grab a jacket and fill up with gas before entering the park. Plan for at least 3 hours, including stops, to make the full trip. Or visit the Alpine Visitor Center for shorter, but still amazing, experience.
