NATIONAL PARKS PORTFOLIO

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

EASY TO REACH AND TO SEE

THE 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.
