You can experience the beauty and height of the Rockies from your car
Even if you aren’t an avid hiker or backpacker, the Rocky Mountains provide numerous opportunities to experience their imposing height and vast scenery.
Trail Ridge Road, located inside Rocky Mountain National Park, reaches a maximum height of 12,183 feet. This 48-mile stretch is the perfect opportunity to drive through the park and take in the Rockies. There are plenty of stops to stretch your legs and snap a photo. Pikes Peak in Colorado, one of the most famous peaks over 14,000 feet, also allows visitors to drive vehicles to the summit.
