"Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road in the nation, topping out at 12,000 feet. Breathtaking drive with a panorama of the roof of the park (but without guard rails!). Visitors usually see elk and often bighorn sheep. nps.gov/romo USA Today Top 10 Scenic Roads to Distract You"

"HOW TO GET THERE: From Vancouver, Edmonton or Calgary. WHEN TO GO: All year round. NEAREST TOWN: There are many small towns located in the Rockies; the largest is Banff with a population of almost 8,000. DON'T MISS: Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Emerald Lake, Mount Robson. YOU SHOULD KNOW: If you are short of time you can take a two-day train tour through the Rockies, travelling only in daylight, you are afforded spectacular views from the comfort of your seat. The Rocky Mountains form part of an almost continuous chain of mountains that stretch from Alaska down practically the entire length of the west coast of the Americas. The Canadian Rockies encompass a vast area that includes five national parks. Four of these, Banff, Jaspar, Yoho and Kootenay not only interlock with each other but also with three British Columbia provincial parks. Altogether these parks were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. The Canadian Rockies are both older than and geologically different from the American Rockies. They are largely formed of sedimentary rock that has been severely glaciated, resulting in sharp, craggy-peaked mountains separated by broad valleys created by glaciers. The highest is the impressive Mount Robson, which stands at 3,954 m (12,972 [t). The backbone of the Canadian Rockies is the Continental Divide, which runs the length of the range and separates Alberta from British Columbia. The scenery is utterly spectacular on both sides of the mountains, although the parks of Banff and Jaspar are the best known. Roads run parallel on both sides of the range, and there are four routes that cross over it. The most spectacular of these runs through Glacier National Park, with its awe-inspiring glacial peaks and vivid, turquoise alpine lakes. The Rockies provide the opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful wilderness areas imaginable. Here you can hike, climb and horse ride to your heart's content. The more adventurous can heli-hike through fabulous landscapes swathed in wild flowers during spring or heli-ski in winter. Helicopters fly visitors up to lodge resorts, and then ferry them to high mountain peaks for several different ski runs per day, each on virgin snow. It’s no secret that Colorado is chock-full of 14,000-ft peaks – 53 of them to be exact. So it’s no wonder that very few mountain ranges are as well-known as the Colorado Rockies., as you probably guessed by now, Rocky Mountain National Park’s crown-jewel is, in fact, the Rocky Mountains. Within park boundaries, you’ll find the “highway to the sky,” Trail Ridge Road, which covers 48 miles of epic alpine scenery before reaching an incredible 12,183 feet in elevation. This is the highest continuously-paved road in America, and there aren’t any guardrails to keep you from appreciating the views. Aside from scenic drives, Rocky Mountain also offers 335 miles of hiking trails. Popular treks, like the one to Dream Lake, feature iconic Rocky Mountain summits like Glacier Gorge, Longs Peak, and Hallett Peak, reflecting in pristine subalpine lakes. Trails that begin along Trail Ridge Road, like the hike to Mt. Ida, offer what many consider to be some of the best views of the Rockies in the state. Over 4 million people wine, dine, relax, explore and adore Rocky Mountain National Park every year and heavy crowding can sometimes make it feel like these picturesque peaks come at a cost. However, with Estes Park and Grand Lake nearby, you can always stop to grab a bite to eat, kick up your feet, and wait for the crowds to die down."
