The boom didn’t last long, and by 1886 Lulu City was abandoned. Lulu City is a ghost town that in late 1880 was home to a population of 500 and 10 working mines. Twenty-eight miles of the trail falls in Rocky Mountain, and there are shorter, family-friendly options that are easier to access. Walking a section of the Continental Divide Trail offers a taste of the 3,100-mile trail that wanders through Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico. So here are a few of the park's star attractions that are accessible either by car or by foot. But while driving may offer magnificent scale, nothing captures detail like a hike.
Trail Ridge Road, which follows a path that Native Americans used for thousands of years, meanders through forests, above the tree line, and over the Continental Divide it's the longest continuous paved road in the United States and an efficient way to explore the park's topographical range. And you don’t even have to hike to see them, if you don’t want to. In the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park’s soaring peaks are wild rivers, placid alpine lakes, and an amazing array of flora and fauna. Visitor Centers: Beavers Meadows and Kawuneeche (year-round) Fall River and Alpine (seasonal)Įntrance Fee: $20 per vehicle, $10 per person
