Rocky Mountain National Park
If you only have time for one day trip from Denver, then take a road trip to Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park. The park offers stunning year-round scenery and perhaps is the single most beautiful place in Colorado. Rocky Mountain National Park's 415 square miles (265,807 acres) encompass a spectacular range of mountain environments. From meadows found in the montane life zone to glistening alpine lakes and up to the towering mountain peaks, there is something for everyone to discover.
In 1976, UNESCO designated the park as one of the first World Biosphere Reserves. Along the way explore over 300 miles of hiking trails and incredible wildlife viewing. If you’re the active type, there is plenty of hiking and biking trails here, or if you feel like being more sedentary, you can take in the mountain views and natural smells while on a scenic drive. Bear Lake Corridor and Trail Ridge Road are popular routes.
