"We love your books! We pick them up each visit. They are all so beautiful and well done. They are the best guide books of any place we visit. We especially love the Menu Guide" Charles from Michigan
Winter
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.
