Why it works

Rocky Mountain National Park receives over 4 million visitors per year, and the Bear Lake corridor's timed entry permit system and shuttle-dependent trailheads require accurate shuttle stop and trailhead detail that a standard topographic map doesn't provide. The day hike format with difficulty ratings and distances is far more practical for the park's majority of visitors who are day hikers rather than backpackers. Waterproof construction survives the park's afternoon thunderstorms and the variable weather common above treeline.

Ideal for
