The stunning scenery of Rocky Mountain National Park spans 107,000 acres. This place is ideal for mountaineers, skiers, walkers, and hikers. It has more than 570 km of hiking trails where you come across streams, meadows, waterfalls, and high mountain lakes. It is the natural habitat of various animals, including bighorn sheep, mountain lions, bears, coyotes, and American elk.
The fauna of the park will leave you amazed. Relish the setting of alpine tundras, torrential waterfalls, and pine forests. Other activities to enjoy are bike rides and fishing; there are also programs focused on astronomy, conservation, and the history of your surroundings.
Grottos Trail is a must-do tour in the White River National Forest. Here you can observe rock formations and ice caves between mountains and forests. The walk is considered easy to moderate and is for all ages. The ice caves form during colder months as a result of underground currents. Although ice stalactites and stalagmites are awe-inspiring, be cautious as they can be fragile and dangerous.
Visiting the Grottos Trail is recommended during spring, summer, and fall. It is ideal to spend a picnic day and enjoy nature.
