Hiking Rocky Mountain National Park contains more than 355 miles of trails, ranging from easy trails that can be walked at a leisurely pace to expert vertical ascents.
Trails lead to mountain lakes, past waterfalls, and to summits offering spectacular views.
The three main bicycle routes through the park are on Bear Lake Road, Trail Ridge Road, and a loop between Horseshoe Park and Estes Park. Because of the mountainous terrain, most routes are quite demanding. Additionally, thunderstorms, cold weather, traffic, and high altitudes make cycling in the park a rigorous challenge. Bikes are not allowed on the park trails. Horseback Riding Always popular, guided saddle rides into the high country take visitors to special places.
