Rocky Mountain National Park offers offers a variety of ways for students in grades K-12 to experience their park. We offer ranger guided field trips, self guided field trip support and a variety of virtual programs.

Educational groups coming to Rocky Mountain National Park that are organized by an accredited educational institution, whether on a self guided or ranger guided program, may qualify for a fee waiver to enter the park.

Ranger guided field trips are available on a first come, first-served basis. Ranger guided field trips are free. We recommend that you contact us at least three months in advance of your desired date for ranger-led programs. To schedule a program, please email us at RMNP_Education_Rangers@nps.gov.
