Are you planning a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park between November and late May? If so, be prepared for snow! With elevations ranging from 7,800 feet to over 14,000 feet above sea level, winter conditions can greatly vary in the Rocky Mountains.

This is magical time to visit the park. A time when there are fewer crowds and it's easy to enjoy both solitude and snow on a winter wilderness adventure.

Be prepared for snowpacked trails, cold temperatues, and winter fun! Remember to pack warm layers of clothing, traction devices and possibly snowshoes, and be comfortable with winter routefinding skills.
