we were in colorado for a week. came solely for hiking. and BOY WE FOUND IT!
After reading Zhang Xiaodong's article, I have been very interested in Denver, and Rocky Mountain can be said to be one of Denver's most famous attractions, especially by car, the scenery along the way is really good!
The area of the national park is very large, there are not many tourists, there are lush vegetation everywhere, the air is also very good, there are many animals along the way, quite interesting, very suitable for friends who like nature to play
Rocky Mountain National Park is only two hours away from Denver and is at a high altitude. At the entrance of the road, vehicles that are only within a certain range of length and width can pass, and vehicles that exceed the size are equivalent to entering the ghost gate. Drivers need to be highly focused, and a little inattentiveness can make a big mistake. In the fear we slowly climbed to the heights, only to find that we have reached the snow line above, there is no tree, no longer blocked in front of us, you can clearly see the continuous peaks stretching out far away. The thick white clouds in the sky were like peaks, crowded together in a dense manner, and stretched out to the sky, and finally mixed in the junction of the mountain and the sky.
Especially lamenting that these national parks in the United States are quite protected by nature. Can see the harmonious coexistence of human and animal nature. If there are these cattle on the road and run to the road, the car will definitely need to avoid no one will go to the horn. There are laws and regulations to strictly protect animals and plants inside.
The Rocky Mountain National Park features 78 peaks above 3,658 meters above sea level, of which 20 peaks are above 3,962 meters above sea level. In contrast to this undulating terrain, wild flowers are drilled from the frozen soil in spring and summer, and the land is full of vitality. Here, people have access to alpine landscapes, standing peaks, alpine ice bucket lakes and glacier hail
The Rocky Mountains, which span the North American continent, reach the highest altitude near Denver, and the spectacular Rocky Mountain National Park is located here.
