Make the most of your Rocky Mountain National Park adventure

What makes Rocky Mountain National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour a unique experience ?

Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park! This tour will take you through the most picturesque stretch of this majestic mountain range. Get ready for stunning vistas, lush meadows, and prime wildlife-spotting!

Note: This 40+ miles-long tour covers the essentials of Rocky Mountain Park in 2-3 hours.

Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, also known as Rocky Mountain National Park Administration Building, is the park headquarters and principal visitors center of Rocky Mountain National Park in central northern Colorado.

The first hiking trail you’ll reach is the Deer Mountain Trailhead, which leads up 1,000 feet to some spectacular views from a mountainous summit.

Up next are Beaver Ponds, featuring an easy boardwalk through secluded, very pretty wetlands.

After that is Hidden Valley, a boreal forest with some of the hardiest flora in the country.

You’ll arrive next at the Many Parks Curve Overlook, which offers stunning views of not one or two but three gorgeous mountain meadows.

The next overlook you’ll reach is Rainbow Curve Overlook, which sits right at the altitude beyond which most trees can no longer grow. Suffice to say it boasts some pretty incredible views!

At the next trail, the Ute Trailhead, you’ll learn about the Ute tribe which once called the Rockies home.

Continuing on, you’ll come to the Forest Canyon Overlook, featuring a vista from 12,000 feet up. You’ll also get some facts about the Arapaho tribe while taking in the views.

Your route takes you next to the Lava Cliffs Overlook. You might not think “lava” when you think of the Rocky Mountains, but these 28 million year-old cliffs are sure to change your mind about that!

Next, you’ll arrive at the Gore Range Overlook. This ominously-named range gets its name from the deep red coloring it takes on at certain times of the day, and you might just catch sight of that striking image while visiting!

You’ll pass the Alpine Visitor Center next. This isn’t just a great place to stop for snacks and restrooms, it’s also the highest-elevation visitor center in any US national park!

At the Medicine Bow Curve, up next, you won’t want to leave your camera in the car! This vista is so high up you can see the state of Wyoming from it!

Ever seen an alpine lake? That’s next, at Poudre Lake. This lake is so high up that it freezes all the way through, top to bottom, each winter.

Continuing on, you’ll arrive at Fairview Curve Viewpoint, offering an excellent look at the Never Summer Mountain Range.
