A Word From The Maintainer...

Around early July of 1995, the decision was made to entirely rewrite the Rocky Mountain National Park Page (online since September 1994). Two major reasons influenced this decision: an attempt to make the detail of the pages complete, and an attempt to make future updates easier on the page maintainer (ie, me). I took all the comments and suggestions to heart, and hopefully those folks kind enough to critique the pages will find what they are looking for in these new and improved pages.

You would be amazed at the amount of work that went into this update. Aside from the trip reports, all data entry was done by me alone. I have attempted to include every named mountain, lake or point of interest in the Park on these pages. Many streams and rivers have yet to be included, but they will in due time.

Many of the locations on these pages can be reached by more than one trail. For example, you can conceivably visit Paradise Park via the Roaring Fork Trail or via the East Inlet Trail. However, I only have it listed with the East Inlet Trail. This was meant to reduce redundancy. If I notice trip reports offering routes I don't list, I will add those destinations to the appropriate trail.

In the future, I hope to include Comanche Peaks Wilderness, Indian Peaks Wilderness, the Never Summer Wilderness area, and several other wilderness and forest areas that surround the Park. Until then, expect updates with descriptions and reports. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
