#Rocky Mountain National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Continental Divide Of America
The continental divide is a place that you have to drop by on your road trip in colorado where the North South trending mountains divides the continents drainage into that flowing eastward and that flowing westward into the Pacific ocean.
For travellers who love hiking, this is a great place to do your hiking where the trail Ridge road has the finest hiking trials that goes for miles and incorporates steep terrain too!
This is not wheel chair friendly, as the hike up from the main road is rather steep before you reach up to the top where you will see the breathtaking views of Mountain ridges. Do also remember to bring a jacket as the wind up there is really chilly!

Popular Quandary Peak Hike
Quandary Peak is the highest summit of the Tenmile Range in the Rocky Mountains of North America and is the most commonly climbed fourteener in Colorado. It has nearly the same elevation as Castle Peak and Mount Evans. This hike can be quite treacherous as it took me a total of 6-7 hours return. You will climb approx 3,450 feet with a total distance of approx 11km. This also includes the very thin air which causes you to go abit light headed at times. But with slow and consistent speed you will be able to make it up there.
Make sure you bring food and water with you as this hike is really long and tiring. You would also want to take a good break at the top of the mountain to absorb the amazing views that you work so hard for.
This is a very well trekked hike, so you do not need to worry, many people come here to hike even on weekdays. This is a relatively easy hike with an increase of elevation at the top of the mountain, this isn't wheel chair friendly as you will need to climb rocks on the way up.
In 2020, quandary peak is popular as one of the 14ers, you will need to ensure that you get parking slots before you go as there are new parking policies in play.

Rocky mountains day trip with evening in Fort Colins 🗻
#cherryblossom2024
📍Denver city has plenty of things to do, but if you want to take a rest from the city vibe and spot some nature, go to the mountains. 🏔️
🚙 You can just drive through the mountains and see the amazing views 🗻
▪️But remember making some nice stops:
🔺one of them is at the red rocks, a rock formation with the greatest acoustics, where many rock stars have played.
🦬 Another nice stop is at the bison’s park, where you can get quite close to them.
🚗 For the afternoon/evening head to Fort Colins, about 1h30min from Denver. The university is huge and beautiful and the old town is super charming 😍
