Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the highest national parks in
the nation, with elevations from 7,860 feet to 14,259 feet. Sixty
mountain peaks over 12,000 feet high result in world-renowned scenery.
The Continental Divide runs north - south through the park, and marks a
climatic division. Ancient glaciers carved the topography into an
amazing range of ecological zones. What you see within short distances
at Rocky is similar to the wider landscape changes seen on a drive from
Denver to northern Alaska.
Bighorn Sheep are the symbol of Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis Canadensis) are the largest wild sheep in North America. Muscular males can weigh over 300 pounds and stand over three feet tall at the shoulder. Females are roughly half this size. Bighorn sheep are gray/brown to dark brown in color with white patches on their rump, muzzle and back of legs. Winter coats are thick, double-layered and may be lighter in color. Bighorn sheep shed these heavy coats in the summer.
