Rocky Mountain National Park Trip
Want to go to RMNP??
Take a peek at what my trip looked like the past few days!
We camped at the Timber Creek camp ground.
You have to book a site MONTHS in advance, so get on that early. Just Google it to find the spot to reserve them!
I got recommendations for which hikes to do and checked photos of scenery on the All Trails app.
(I recommend the Bear Lake trail head. It has tons of beautiful lake hikes off it)
Make sure to check if there’s a fire ban and bring a propane stove or you’ll be in a pickle when needing to cook. We drove into the nearest town and grabbed the last one!
Bring the right gear! It was hot in the day at our camp site, freezing at night, and I was hot and cold during the hike. Layers are key!
The park is busy! So get up early and get to the trails early to avoid most people.
And HAVE FUN! 🌲🌎✨
Respect nature, enjoy the views, and don’t forget to do some star gazing at night! (We saw the Milky Way and a shooting star!!)

A variety of hiking trails cater to all levels, but the Bear Lake Trail is particularly popular, offering stunning panoramic views and access to several beautiful lakes, such as Dream Lake and Lake Haiyaha. When hiking in RMNP, it's important to be prepared for varying weather conditions. During the day, temperatures can be warm, but the nights can drop significantly, so dressing in layers is advisable. Also, check local fire restrictions before your visit; a propane stove might be necessary if campfires are banned. The park tends to get overcrowded, so arriving early is recommended to enjoy tranquility on the trails. In addition to hiking, stargazing at night is a magical experience in RMNP. The park's remote location means darker skies, allowing for incredible views of the Milky Way and meteor showers. Respect for nature is vital; always practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve the park's beauty for future visitors.
