Renelle's Rocky
Rangers often do have exciting jobs but they don't seem to show the same enthusiasm when challenged with a difficult computer glitch. Part of my job is to offer technical assistance so they can head back outdoors as quickly as possible. Sound boring? Actually, it's fun and interesting. I'll be passing some of these glimpses on to you, along with any other stories I deem worthy as I live and work here.
 
Terry's Tidbits
The original Weekly Tidbits were created by Terry, a former Resource Management Supervisor (now retired) at Rocky and members of her staff. This blog will provide a new home for these delightful short articles.
 

From the Environmental Education Interns...
The Environmental Education staff at Rocky Mountain National Park inspires thousands of children, and their teachers, every year. They are tasked with a tremendous responsibility--to help create the next generation of stewards of our environment and our national parks.

To assist with this undertaking the park employs several Environmental Eduation Interns each year.

Catch a glimpse of their world and experiences.

Visit Rocky!
Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park’s blog from the park’s visitor Information Office.

The Information Office is a hub of information for the park. Because we are a source of information for both park visitors and staff, I thought it would be fun – and hopefully helpful – to share some of the tidbits we glean with you. Enjoy!

Did You Know?
The Nerd Herd (aka research volunteers) gave more than 4,500 hours to the park in 2009. These citizen scientists help monitor the health of our resources including bears, elk, plants, hummingbirds, glaciers, and butterflies.
