Trail Ridge Road
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) is bisected into northern and southern halves by Trail Ridge Road (TRR). TRR is a narrow strip of asphalt that runs to over 12,000 feet above sea level above Trail Canyon and the Big Thompson River. Elk herds migrate with the seasons following the availability of forage. Remote headwaters on both sides of the continental divide harbor isolated populations of native trout species.

The Cache la Poudre River flows north from headwaters near Milner Pass on the continental divide. The Never Summer Range forms the far left skyline. Specimen Mountain dominates the rest of the left skyline. The Medicine Bow Range sits on the distant horizon just right of center. The Mummy Range forms the far right skyline. Elk herds spend the summer grazing the high country morning and evening. View Larger Image (And use your browser's zoom if necessary.)
