Longs Peak by Hobbyhawk
A 415 mile area of the Rocky Mountain Range in northern Colorado became Rocky Mountain National Park on January 26, 1915. This designation created a preservation of the environment and the culture for the past one hundred years.
100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The park is home to 150 lakes and numerous rivers, including the headwaters of the Colorado River. The Rocky Mountains were formed by glaciers thousands of years ago, where at least fifteen of them still remain in the park today. The mountains carved by these glaciers are spectacular, rising to 14,255 feet in elevation Longs Peak is the highest of the 125 named mountain peaks in the park.
With miles of hiking trails there is wildlife around every turn from birds to bears. I have fly fished with ducks, birds, deer, elk, moose and bears in the park. Some of the best fly fishing in Colorado can be found in Rocky Mountain National Park where Rainbow Trout and Native Cutthroat live in the streams and lakes.
Visit the park everyday by four available web cams, the Continental Divide web cam at Glacier Basin Campground, has a spectacular view of the peaks Thatchtop, Taylor Peak, Otis Peak, Hallett Peak, and Flattop Mountain.
