DESTINATION

Rocky Mountain National Park

The winter months bring a special kind of serenity, as pristine snow blankets the hiking trails, rests haphazardly on tree branches and crowns graceful peaks. Click into a pair of cross-country skis and explore this winter wonderland. Stand motionless and be silent—the sounds of chattering birds and small animals rustling through the snowdrifts will echo across the dramatic landscape. Don a pair of snowshoes and make the first and only tracks of the day as you journey across starkly beautiful alpine tundra.

As the snow melts and the forests turn lush with hues of green, new possibilities arise for getting away from it all. Fly fish in a gurgling mountain stream—no one will be around to witness your catch, so feel free to exaggerate as you wish. Kayak a glimmering picture-perfect lake framed by lofty snow-capped pinnacles reaching into a sapphire sky. Hike a trail that seemingly leads to nowhere, and be rewarded as you glimpse a prancing deer or a bighorn sheep perched precariously on a jagged rock. However you choose to get lost is totally up to you.
