Spanning the Continental Divide in Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park is another of the country's most magnificent mountain destinations. The charming town of Estes Park is the gateway to the park, and it's the perfect place to stop if you want to take a cable car up to the top of Prospect Mountain before heading deeper into the wilderness. Driving along the Trail Ridge Road is the best way to see as much of the park as possible, but visitors can also hike along a section of the Continental Divide Trail or to the fascinating ghost town of Lulu City.
