Rocky Mountain National Park by Tesla

Seventy-one miles from Denver and you are above the treeline. Alpine tundra, elk herds, and Trail Ridge Road, which is the highest continuous paved road in the country and the reason to come.

Trail and peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Trail Ridge Road

Trail Ridge climbs to 12,183 feet. Marmots on the rocks, snowfields in July, and a 360 degree view of the Front Range. Take it slowly and stop often, because the altitude affects you more than it affects the car.

Camping with the elk

Moraine Park Campground is $30 a night and elk graze between the sites at breakfast. Charging is in Estes Park, 15 minutes out, which is also where you buy anything you forgot.
