Rocky Mountains National Park has many pet restrictions to protect wildlife. Keep your dog on a leash that's 6 feet long or shorter at all times, and don't leave your dog alone. They can only be in official campgrounds, picnic areas, and parking lots, as well as alongside roads.
Here are the park's top three locations for the best views of Rocky Mountains National Park - Bear Lake, Gore Range Overlook, and Sprague Lake.

Rocky Mountain National Park is open 24/7 all year long! This park is home to extreme weather, and the winters here can be fierce in the higher elevations. There is no way to predict road closures, but typically, the road is fully open around Memorial Day and closes around mid-October.
Rocky Mountains National Park offers a wide variety of sights and activities, including Bear Lake Loop, Tundra Communities Trail and the Trail Ridge Road.
Driving from one end of the park to the other usually takes about two hours. If you take one of the self-guided Rocky Mountain tours, you'll be able to learn about the park's history and the natural world that'll be right outside your car's windows as you drive through the park.
How much it costs to enter Rocky Mountain National Park depends on when you decide to visit and how long you’re planning on staying for. If you only have a day to take one of the Rocky Mountain National Park tours, this park offers a $25 pass that’s good for a single day
Rocky Mountain National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife thanks to its elevation range. From its lowest point to its highest point, there’s an altitude difference of over 6,000 feet!
