Trail Ridge Road is right outside of popular Estes Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. This road is North America’s highest, continuous paved road. It is also the highest paved road in any US national park 12,000 feet above sea level.
Furthermore, it’s also above tree level. In fact, if you stand at the very top, you can actually see Wyoming to the north. Lastly, Trail Ridge Road is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Famous Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs is 14,115 feet high. The views from the top are nothing less than incredible. However, not everyone can access it on foot. It is a very difficult hike and certainly not for beginners. Still, if you still want to see some of the jaw-dropping views here you can always climb aboard the planet’s highest cog train.
