I recently got back from visiting my friend Jes out in Denver, Colorado for my very first RMNP trip!
I have been to Colorado numerous times for ski vacations, but had never been to Rocky Mountain National Park! I loved the mountains, lakes, waterfalls, hiking trails, basically everything in the park.
I absolutely LOVED the gorgeous scenery, so I wanted to share some of my favorite photos of Rocky Mountain National Park in hopes that they will inspire you to add this park to your travel bucket list!

Photos to Inspire You to Visit Rocky Mountain National Park
Hands down, one of my FAVORITE photos from my trip. This picture truly represents Rocky Mountain National Park: rock, lush greenery, creeks, beautiful trees. This picture was taken along the trail headed to Dream Lake.

Believe it or not, I took this picture of Bear Lake with my iPhone!
Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most visited and most photographed places in the park. It did not disappoint! This photo does not do it justice!
There are many, many creeks & waterfalls in Rocky Mountain National Park. I spent a LOT of time practicing with different camera settings. This was one of my favorites.
This picture of the Colorado River was taken along the Holzwarth Historic Site trail. In this particular photo, I was trying to practice photo composition & including things in the foreground of my pictures.
