ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT: TRAIL RIDGE TUNDRA ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Trail Ridge Road climbing above treeline, elk grazing in dawn meadows, tundra flowers braving thin air. The Rockies call.
Climb to Rocky Mountain on Trail Ridge Road, then explore Estes Park as the valley awakens. Reach Grand Lake and its quieter shores, to feel altitude differently, between water and pines. Here, Colorado is lived in clear air, grand panoramas and the sense of being above everything, where terrain commands respect.
- Trail Ridge Road: highest continuous paved road
- Bear Lake: alpine reflections, peak circles
- Estes Park: elk meadows, gateway village
- Grand Lake: western slope, quieter shores
