The cooler weather and the changing leaves gave us a drastically different experience than when we visited in summer.Īspenglen Campground – on Highway 34 west of the Fall River Entrance Station. Both times were amazing, but the best time to visit Rocky Mountain National Park is the fall in my opinion. We have visited in July and in September. Rocky Mountain National Park in December would be a winter wonderland and a perfect time to get cozy in a cabin, do some holiday shopping in nearby Estes Park, and get to experience the park with low crowds and snow! Winter is also a beautiful time to visit. Mid-September through Mid-October is the best time to visit Rocky Mountain National Park to experience cool crisp fall weather and this is the Elk-rut season, so there will be great wildlife experiences. This peak of visitors also means certain areas of the park will experience long waits or closures to manage human traffic along trails and roads and congestion in parking lots. During this time you will find throngs of tourists coming to experience Rocky Mountain’s warmest weather months.
The peak season of Rocky Mountain National Park is June through September. To see more photos and videos from our trips to Rocky Mountain, check out my Instagram Highlight. Beaver Meadows also has an educational 20-minute park video that I highly recommend watching. It is the largest visitor center and is the only visitor center in the park and it is open every single day from 9:00 AM -4:00 PM. I personally recommend the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center.
