A classic camping family adventure chock full of wildlife sightings, spectacular mountain scenery and awe-inspiring hikes. Rocky Mountain National Park is the quintessential destination for a family vacation. With its forests and mountains, its great outdoors and great adventure, the landscape will inspire a sense of exploration in young and old alike. Children will relish the opportunity to learn from our fun and energetic guides, and the whole family will love the six memorable days spent at our comfortable campsite. Hiking to alpine lakes and an old mining ghost town, we keep a lookout for the park's abundant wildlife. A mid-trip whitewater adventure on Colorado’s only designated “Wild and Scenic River” offers an exhilarating change of pace. And no trip in the Rocky Mountains is complete without a scenic drive along the Trail Ridge Road, the highest paved road in America and ranked one of the country’s most beautiful drives. Days on the trail lead to nights around the campfire under Colorado’s incredibly starry sky—a lovely sight to behold with family and new friends.
