Estes Park Vacation Packages, Summer

Rocky Mountain National Park is an icon of America's natural beauty. One-third of the park sits above timberline, and there are 71 peaks that rise more than 12,000 feet. Summer vacations in this region are wonderful, and you should be able to find a package to suit your needs.

3 million people visit Rocky Mountain National Park on an annual basis. The population is also growing quickly, with seniors and the retired flocking to Colorado's Front Range to take advantage of the less-traveled national forests around RMNP in search of quiet and peace.

But it's not just about the solitude you can find here. The park is large, and offers so much by way of recreational activities that you have to trek deep into nature in order to fully enjoy the experience. When you abandon the beaten path, there are many treats to find along the way.

The park contains a 415-square-mile piece of the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by a whopping 370 miles of hiking and walking trails that lead you up scenic rocky trails, over tundra, beside alpine lakes, and through forested groves, spruce forests, and meadows bursting with columbine.
