Hiking is the number one activity that brings you to this park. There are multiple trails that will lead you to different places that are worth visiting. These trails are suitable for all kinds of vacationers. Whether it is your first time hiking or it is something you like doing more often, you have the freedom to move around as much as you want. Spending your day up in these mountain ranges will make you appreciate what nature has to offer. Hiking also prepares you for the next phase of adventure awaiting you in the park.
Scenic Drives
Diversity is among the key selling points that put Rocky Mountain State Park on the global map. Your adventure in this park is not limited to mountain climbing. It is also suitable for scenic drives. This kind of adventure comes in handy during those days when you feel too lazy to walk around for a prolonged time. These drives also come at the tail end of your adventure when your legs can hardly accommodate more mileage. From the stiff cliffs to the free-flowing rivers and blossoming flowers, there is a lot for you to see from the comfort of your car.
Wildlife Photography
Do you have a passion for photography? This park is among the top places in the city to kickstart your photography career. Being a park, you can expect to find several wild animals here. Better still, most of them are herbivorous and harmless to human beings. Your photography of the wild goes beyond these animals. It also extends to the thickets you see around. With no sun rays to obstruct your camera focus, the result will be spotless and magnificent photos. Capturing the beauty of this park doesn’t mean you should be a professional photographer. You can as well capture a few shots of the immediate environment and save them in a safe storage space as a memory of the holiday experience that was.
Explore the Park’s Multiple Water Bodies
Rocky Mountain National Park is home to several water bodies. Most hiking trails in this park lead to these water bodies, providing another platform for you to adventure. They range from lakes to free-flowing springs. Memorial Day celebration is already past winter meaning the prevailing weather conditions allow you to take a dip in these lakes. Even in cases when the weather is not conducive, activities such as fly fishing are easy to handle.
Chow It Down
Your Memorial Day adventure in the park doesn’t end up there in the mountains. It also extends to your plate. The park adopts a policy where everything consumed has to be sourced from within. This policy gives you the perfect opportunity to explore what the local community has to offer. Within the park are restaurants specializing in healthy foods such as juices and smoothies. These foods are the perfect way to reenergize as you gear up for the challenge ahead.
