The purpose of this website is to provide potential Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) patrons with a means to more effectively plan hikes that cater to their specific needs. The trails in RMNP have been anylized using ArcGIS, a geographic information system software package, to determine trail difficulty ratings, theme-based hikes including: hikes to lakes, waterfalls, mountian summits, historic structures, and family oriented hikes, as well as to provide detailed maps of RMNP and the trails within RMNP. GIS analysis methods are also provided as well as links to the base information and other useful information for potential park-goers.
