The Rocky Mountain National Park is established by an act of the U.S. Congress.
Rocky Mountain National Park is established to conserve Colorado's high peaks, forests, and wildlife.
On January 26, 1915, the United States Congress officially created Rocky Mountain National Park, safeguarding over 415,000 acres of Colorado's alpine landscapes, forests, and wildlife. The park features rugged mountains, glacial lakes, and diverse ecosystems ranging from montane to tundra. Its establishment responded to growing conservation movements and the desire to preserve America's natural heritage for future generations. Visitors today can explore scenic trails, observe elk herds, and marvel at panoramic vistas along Trail Ridge Road. Rocky Mountain National Park has since become one of America's most beloved and studied national parks, inspiring ongoing efforts in environmental protection.
