Rocky Adventures - Vacation Spots: Rocky Mountain National Park  
INTERESTING 

Tags: Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, Colorado, Vacations

Get away from the big city on your next vacation and experience the beauty of nature. Below are some great reasons to make Rocky Mountain National Park your next vacation spot.

	Picturesque scenery year-round (especially September/October -- fall color Aspens)
	Abundant wildlife (again, September/October -- elk bugling; elk, bighorn sheep, foxes, birds, other wildlife year-round).
	Numerous opportunities for hiking, camping, backpacking, bicycling (paved roads only), 4x4 driving, snow-shoeing (in season), fishing, wildlife observation, photography
	Clean air, park is popular but not as crowded/overrun as some of the other top national parks (especially if you park and get out on the trails; start early!)
	Plenty of places to eat, shop and relax in town (Estes Park, CO). Quaint, relaxing.
	Romantic getaway if you stay in the McGregor Mountain Lodge just outside the park. Highly recommended! Google it.
	Several campgrounds in the park and private campgrounds nearby.
	You can swim inexpensively at the Estes Park aquatic center; it's a good way to get a swim AND a cheap shower if you're camping.
	The big slide and bumper cars place is good old fashioned fun for kids.
	Be sure to get donuts from the DonutHaus.
