The Rockies are home to an array of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for elk, deer, and even the occasional moose. The best times for wildlife watching are early morning and late evening. Head to Golden Gate Canyon State Park for some excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
5. Scenic Drives
Sometimes, the best way to take in the scenery is from the comfort of your car. The Peak to Peak Scenic Byway offers jaw-dropping views of the Continental Divide. This drive is especially beautiful in the fall when the aspens turn golden. Pack a picnic and make a day of it!

8. Winter Sports
When winter blankets the Rockies in snow, a whole new world of activities opens up. Head to Eldora Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding.
