THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
EASY TO REACH AND TO SEE
HE accessibility of the Rocky Mountain National Park
is apparent by a glance at any map. Denver and St. Louis are less than
thirty hours from Chicago, two days only from New York. A half day from
Denver will put you in Estes Park.
Once there, comfortable in one of its many hotels of
varying range of tariff, and the summits and the gorges of this
mountain-top paradise resolve themselves into a choice between foot and
horseback.
There are also a few most comfortable houses and
several somewhat primitive camps within the park's boundaries at the
very foot of its noblest scenery.
