We love visiting Rocky Mountain National Park and we decided to try out the new jeep a few weekends ago with a trip up Trail Ridge Road. See our slide show here. It's a good thing we went when we did because last weekend we had snow above 10,000 feet in Colorado and they closed Trail Ridge Road temporarily.
Trail Ridge Road is the name for the stretch of U.S. Highway 34 and is the highest continuous highway in the United States. It crosses the Continental Divide at Milner Pass (elev. 10,758 ft) and reaches a maximum elevation of 12,183 ft, near Fall River Pass (elev. 11,796 ft). It is closed during the winter, and often remains closed until late spring or early summer depending on the snowpack.
