The Best of Rocky Mountain National Park | Colorado

Rocky Mountain National Park is located in NOrtheast Colorado, home to wandering elk, towering mountains, valleys, rivers and waterfalls, there is a little something for everyone in this park.

Please note: All drone footage in this video was shot outside RMNP.
**Factual Correction: The Colorado River ends on Mexico's Sea of Cortez (Or did many years ago before most of the American West started diverting it) not the Gulf of Mexico as I stated in this video.

What's your favorite breakfast before a hike? Mine is banana pancakes.

[lissanne]

This is my favorite place in the world. Especially Bear lake. Thank you so much for this mini-documentry.

I love Rocky Mountain National park. My profile picture is actually me at the summit of Longs Peak in 2018. I dedicated the first 6 months of that year to lose 130 pounds so I could hike the summit. It was something I failed to do when I was in my 20's in the early 2000's and it always bugged me. I was just at the park a few weeks ago for a quick visit. I plan on going back in July to do some hikes. In fact, this video has given me some great ideas for hikes to do, so as always, thank you for sharing!

Ahh, Trail Ridge Rd. I was in a Ford Transit Van transporting belongings for a client north of Edwards. The previous two times I was at RMNP, the road was closed for the season. There were warnings of snow on the day I was to get to CO, continuing thru the weekend. I kept following their Twitter feed for updates. Even without a permit(forgot all about that), the ranger at the entrance was nice enough to let me drive thru. Finally got to see all of the park, saw it start to snow at the highest elevation, and had a wonderful drive back down to Edwards, taking some back roads. RMNP is wonderful, as is all of CO....

I'm a huge fan of this channel - so much great information (and inspiration)! The beginning drone footage is from Guanella Pass showing Mt. Beirstadt and Mt. Blue Sky - two 14ers outside of RMNP. Other spectacular RMNP hikes include Sky Pond, Mt. Ida, Chasm Lake, Odessa Lake, and the Gorge Lakes basin. Thank you Alice for all your work and congrats for your climb of Longs!

[dennisperry]

Alice great job on the RMNP video. I'm a very fortunate guy who lives in Loveland, Co. about 20 East of RMNP. We know what a gem this park is and sincerely appreciate you show casing the Rocky Mountain National Park.

[Kenneth_R]

This is a great summary of the park. I live in Colorado and go there a few times a year and love it. Have been there in all 4 seasons. It is definitely worth going any time of the year.

[jasoncombs]

Lol, mine is banana pancakes too...except I put blueberries, walnuts, protein powder, collagen powder, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla in the mix as well. They're great for packing as a snack for later in the day. This video will be useful as I continue planning my mid-July trip to Colorado. Seeing The Black Keys at Red Rocks was part of the motivation and will end the trip, but plenty of nature and hiking before then. Thanks, Alice.

[brianjohnston]

I visit RMNP weekly and you did a great job covering the highlights of the park.

[rjfranz]

Thanks Alice for highlighting RMNP. Went for a week last late September and had a great time with lots of hikes and waterfalls. We stayed near Estes Park and really enjoyed visiting the town as well. We Spent 1 night at the Stanley hotel and enjoyed the ghost tour but didn’t run into any ghosts.

[SheepdogPreparedness]

I love RMNP and Estes Park dearly. I go every year, and count the days between visits. I've been to Hawaii, Florida, and many great states, but absolutely nothing compares to the beauty of the Estes/RMNP area.

[HikerTrashHusbands]

Thanks for the really helpful info and great video. RMNP is on our short list for a visit!

[radisson]

Awesome scenery. The Rockies are sublime. A person has to experience the pristine environment at least once in a lifetime. A picture or even a video does not pay tribute. I have been fortunate enough to be able to live nearby for the last 10 years, I am talking about the Canadian Rockies in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks Alice for sharing. Still wearing that hat hey....hmmmm. Oh well, if it fits, wear it 🏔😎☯️⛺️

[calistogasteve]

Great video and footage. Thank you for sharing. looking forward to first trip in June to RMNP

[stevesparks]

I really like your videos. Just so informative. Thanks for sharing.

[DrJohn]

Enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar scenery but disappointed to see all the fire damage since my last visit to RMNP in 2014. Been spending more time in the National Forests/wilderness areas of Colorado for a bit more solitude and fly fishing. Thanks for an updated look at the park in Fall.

[martyf]

Thanks Alice, that was a great entertaining video. I plan on going there soon.

[timpickering]
