ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK Rocky greets more than 3 COLORADO million annual visitors but still has plenty of solitude to offer amid its thick evergreen forests, rugged peaks, crystalline lakes, waterfalls and trails. This 103-year-old national park conjures up what most people imagine when they think of the Rockies and finds its way onto most visitors’ travel itineraries. The 415-square-mile playground, bookended by Estes Park and Grand Lake, occupies a hefty chunk of northern Colorado and draws family vacationers, hikers, wildlife watchers, rock climbers and photographers year-round. Read more about the park and the towns that bookend it on pages 121 and 157. PHOTOGRAPHER: C2 PHOTOGRAPHY 32 / COLORADO.COM
