The
legendary Rocky Mountains
stretch from New Mexico up
through the United States and
into Canada. The Rocky
Mountains are over 3000 miles
long, spanning parts of
Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, and Wyoming before
continuing into Canada.
Stories of early adventurers
like Lewis and Clark exploring
the Rocky Mountains are
legendary.
The majestic Rocky Mountains
are a major tourist
destination in the western
United States. Visitors can
participate in a number of
activities, including hiking,
skiing, snowboarding, mountain
biking, and many more. The
Rockies are home to several
campgrounds, ghost towns, gold
prospecting sites, and
national parks. Some of the
biggest tourist attractions in
the Rockies are Pike’s Peak
and Royal Gorge. There are
several world famous national
parks in the Rockies,
including Yellowstone, Rocky
Mountain, Grand Teton, and
Glacier.
The Rockies are a tourist
attraction all year round. The
summer months are fairly warm,
with the average temperature
reaching 82 degrees
Fahrenheit. January is the
coldest month, with an average
temperature of 7 degrees
Fahrenheit. The year-round
average temperature is a brisk
43 degrees, a perfect
temperature for many outdoor
activities.
Just about everyone will find
something to enjoy on a Rocky
Mountain vacation. Aside from
all of the great outdoor
activities, the Rockies have a
number of other attractions as
well. The Telluride Film
Festival is a prestigious
yearly event that attracts
some of the biggest stars in
Hollywood to a small Colorado
town. Many Smoky Mountain
resorts offer spa treatments
and other relaxing diversions.
There is a plethora of lodging
options in the Rocky
Mountains. Travelers can camp,
visit RV parks, stay in hotels
or ski resorts, or lodge in
unique cabins and chalets.
Vacationers on any type of
budget will be able to find an
affordable place to stay.
A Rocky Mountain vacation is a
perfect getaway from everyday
life. Travelers can find a
wide range of activities to
suit their desires in the
Rockies. Mountain
