Visiting Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park With Your Family

Adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park, an incredible park just an hour and a half outside Denver, is a mountain playground unlike any other. With a landscape of incredible peaks and valleys, a lush mountain habitat, and the opportunity for incredible adventure, it is no wonder it is a destination for many. Justin and I both remarked that this stop looked most familiar to us of most of the national parks we have visited because of its similarities to the Sierras, near our home.

During our time in Rocky Mountain National Park, our family explored the Alpine Ecosystem of the Park for a bit, completed the Kids’ Junior Ranger Books, and took in some gorgeous views of the mountains and valleys. 

Rocky Mountain National Park is the perfect "Mountain Playground" for any family.

Our final stop was a meadow near the Montane Region of the park where we were lucky to see a prairie dog, a bighorn sheep, and a MOOSE!!!  The kids were over the moon taking pictures of the moose, who was bathing in a small lake when we saw him.  Such a treat for all of us!
