The best part about visiting Colorado is that it maintains its status as an elite outdoor recreation hotspot no matter what time of year. From skiing to kayaking and everything in between, it’s no secret that our beloved state serves as somewhat of a regional playground for those seeking a rustic retreat. Quite possibly one of the most prominent and recognizable natural attractions in the Centennial State, Rocky Mountain National Park offers 415 square miles of alpine bliss that exemplifies Colorado’s beauty. Adding to the allure of a Rocky Mountain getaway are the impressive lodging options provided by Effortless Stay.

Things to Do at Rocky Mountain National Park in Late Winter
Teeming with several elemental landmarks and bucket list opportunities galore, Rocky Mountain National Park is no stranger to those hoping to unleash their wild side. Deciding on how to spend your time at Rocky might be the most rewarding challenge of your Colorado vacation, so to help you wade through the options, we put together a shortlist of things to do while spending time with one of our most revered treasures.
- Snowshoeing is an excellent alternative to winter hiking for those who don’t want to get too wet. We highly recommend waterproof boots.
- Cross-country skiing is a bit more challenging than snowshoeing, but not everything worth doing is easy. The terrain on the west side of the park graciously lends itself to a leisurely glide, and it doesn’t hurt that the snow tends to be deeper there.
- Wildlife viewing is an enriching experience made possible by various park roads that remain open for winter. How many different animals can you identify?
- Winter photography at Rocky Mountain National park will have you coming away with some of the best shots you’ll ever take. Make sure you have plenty of batteries and memory cards!
