How many times have YOU visited Rocky Mountain National Park? Probably more times than you can count, right? As Coloradans, we are beyond fortunate to have such a beautiful park in our backyard, which is why we weren’t too surprised to hear that Rocky Mountain National Park was just named one of the best parks in the country:
The people (via Travel + Leisure) have spoken and have named Rocky Mountain National Park as one of the best national parks in the country!
As per the Top 25 National Parks in America - which surveyed Travel + Leisure readers and originally included all 63 parks - RMNP was a no-brainer, as it scored 89.25 out of 100, putting it at #4 on the list.
In terms of the score, Travel + Leisure factored in everything from accessibility and cleanliness to natural attractions, wildlife, and lodging, all of which RMNP thrives.
