We came into the park from the west side and there was not a lot of traffic, but I highly recommend checking the website and getting a timed entry slot to avoid issues. We went to the historic ranch and walked a trail in the meadow, seeing a moose and lots of elk. We drove to the alpine visitor, did several overlooks, and walked the trail from the overlook to the top of the mountain. I also saw a park ranger issuing tickets for walking on the tundra and leaving the path, so please stay on the paths! This park allows you to get in the mountains and see great views, take advantage of it!

It is one of the visitor centers around our experience with it was limited because it was not open. We did have the opportunity to come around to that side and enjoy a little bit of wildlife viewing. Unfortunately I don't have a detailed review to give having very limited exchange with staff

Park volunteers were very helpful. Told us the best place to see moose and we did see one cow.

Staff were awesome! They were friendly and knowledgeable. My two young boys loved the postcards, and have had so much fun playing the campfire storytime game we purchased.

Visited on Monday 9/9/24 around 10am before my 11am-1pm timed-entry. The rangers at this center were very helpful. They gave me suggestions of where to view a variety of wildlife. With their suggestions, I spotted a moose, a few elks, pikas, marmots and many mule deer, as well as several bird species not native to my area! It's not a huge center, but they had a nice variety of resources and small gifts. I purchased a paperback book about RMNP wildlife and which region to find each animal for under $7. So, the prices were more reasonable than I anticipated. I didn't get her name, but I want to thank the ranger who gave me the tip about spotting pikas at Rock Cut. I heard them almost immediately and not long after, I spotted them zipping in and out of the rocks. I also saw a marmot that was more camera-shy. The alpine/sub-alpine region is fascinating since I would never get the opportunity to see any of this flora and fauna around my home in Georgia. Thanks to these people I was able to get the most out of my visit to RMNP! Some of the aspens were beginning to change across the street from the center. The other pictures are the animals I spotted throughout the park. The moose was a surprise, so I couldn't get pulled over to get the picture until he had walked into the trees, unfortunately. But ask them for suggestions, and you will definitely see some beauties!!
