Rocky
Mountain National Park is eight
miles from Ravencrest Chalet. The Park's
417 square miles consist of snow-mantled
peaks rising above sub- alpine valleys and
glistening lakes. Longs Peak, the highest
mountain in the Park, rises to 14,255 feet.
One-third of the Park is above the tree line
and is home to Trail Ridge Road, the highest
continuous highway in the continental United
States. The road rises to 12,183 feet and
is open from May through October.
Rocky Mountain National Park is an ideal
place for hiking, snowshoeing and off-
track skiing and snow boarding. A primary
attraction is the abundant wildlife, such
as elk, moose, deer and bighorn sheep. |
