Coloradans Love Rocky Mountain National Park

There are plenty of reasons why Rocky Mountain National Park is so popular within the borders of Colorado. For starters, it's one of the most beautiful locations in the state. Aside from that is the fact that there are great opportunities there for hiking, camping, fishing, biking, and wildlife viewing.

Another factor could be the idea that RMNP is close to home. With the price of gas so high, many Colorado families are looking for ways to enjoy a good vacation without breaking the bank. Staying close to home is one way to do that.
