This set collects the national parks of the Rocky Mountains across Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, including Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Mesa Verde, Great Sand Dunes, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
The Rockies parks share a high-elevation season and a kind of landscape: alpine peaks, glacial valleys, and some of the best large-mammal wildlife watching in the country. Treating them as one regional project helps with the real constraint, which is the narrow window when the high country is open and snow-free.
It is for hikers who want mountain country and wildlife, and who can travel in the summer-to-early-fall window when passes and high trails are open.
The best season for Rocky Mountain National Parks is Summer, Fall.
Rocky Mountain National Parks has 7 checkpoints to log on the way to finishing it.
