Rocky Mountain National Park is under the control and supervision of the
Director of the National Park Service, who is represented in the
administration of the park by a superintendent, assisted by a number of
park rangers who patrol the reservation. Thomas J. Allen, Jr., is
superintendent of the park, and his post office address is Estes Park,
Colo.
Exclusive jurisdiction over the park was ceded to the United States by
act of the Colorado Legislature of February 19, 1929, and accepted by
Congress by act approved March 2, 1929. The United States commissioner
for the park may be reached through the superintendent's office.
An information bureau is maintained at the national park museum building
in Estes Park to supply visitors with desired information regarding
accommodations, transportation schedules, foot trips, guides, and other
information relative to the park.
The post office for the park and many hotels and resorts on the east
side is Estes Park, Colo. There are post offices at Longs Peak and
Allens Park, but letters addressed to Estes Park will be forwarded. The
west-side post office is at Grand Lake, Colo.
