Rocky Mountain National Park, adjoining Estes Park Village, embraces 405
square miles of unsurpassed mountain scenery, including 65 towering
peaks over 10,000 feet high, 150 highland lakes, scores of rushing
streams, babbling brooks and dashing waterfalls. Here the natural
attractions are so varied a visitor is almost bewildered by the wide
choice of vacation endeavors which could fill an entire summer.
Visitors are urged to take advantage of naturalist services. Schedules
of hikes and nature walks, as well as evening campfire discussions, are
announced weekly. Three museums on geologic, historic, biologic and
other aspects of the Park are open throughout the season. Auto caravans,
led by naturalists to outstanding areas too far for hiking, bring
visitors to rare regions of scenic wonder.
