The biggest attraction to the park is the road itself. Trail Ridge Road is the highest, continuous paved road in America. The park has more than 60 peaks over 12,000ft in 416 square miles. It is one of the country’s top wildlife-watching destinations with more than 3,000 elk, 800 bighorn sheep and numerous mule deer and moose. The Kawuneeche Valley has some prime wildlife viewing.

How great is it to see animals in the wild instead of in a zoo! Look for these animals throughout Grand County.

Have you ever thought of skydiving but just didn’t think you could actually jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Well, you live out your dream, no airplane needed.

Treat yourself! A spa service is just what you need.

Although Trail Ridge Road is usually closed around Columbus Day in October, you can still drive for ten miles through the spectacular Kawuneeche Valley. The majestic peaks catch and hold more snow on this, the western side, of the park. Unfortunately many people miss out on the experience of seeing the snow-covered meadows with the sparkling snow. These meadows, ringed by massive peaks can be reached by snowshoe, ski and, in some cases, on foot. If you are prepared, winter in the park can be a time of adventure. Always ask about current park conditions; trails may be good for snowshoeing or skiing one day and poor the next.
