Some of the most popular summer attractions in Colorado require reservations. Now is the perfect time to make plans if you want to enjoy these popular destinations. If you go, be sure to respect the beauty and serenity of Colorado\u2019s wild places. Always leave no trace and be kind when you\u2019re in nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pikes Peak<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Colorado\u2019s most famous 14,000-foot peak has both a road and a cog rail line to the summit. Of course, if you are super fit, you can also hike or cycle to the top of this peak, which tops out 14,115 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n

Regardless of which transportation method you choose, you\u2019ll want to plan ahead.<\/p>\n

Reservations are required if you wish to drive to the top of Pikes Peak<\/a> because of the limited amount of parking on the summit.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to make reservations in advance if you plan to ride the rail line to the top via the Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the top, visitors will find the Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mount Blue Skye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Colorado has another 14,000-foot peak with a road to the top: Mount Blue Skye. This road takes you even higher than the route to the summit of Pikes Peak. Mount Blue Sky tops out at 14,264 feet, making this highway the highest paved road in North America.<\/p>\n

You will also need reservations to drive up to the Mount Blue Sky summit<\/a>. Visitors can also enjoy stops at Mount Goliath Nature Center and Summit Lake Park. The Mount Blue Sky Road is one of Colorado\u2019s Scenic & Historic Byways<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rocky Mountain National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reservations are required to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. The Loch is one of the most popular alpine lakes to hike to in Rocky Mountain National Park. Photo by Cyrus McCrimmon for UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most visited national parks in the country is also Colorado\u2019s oldest national park. Established back in 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park is home to another 14-er, Longs Peak and many other spectacular peaks. The park attracts more than 4.4 million people a year. Another famous Scenic Byway, Trail Ridge Road, takes visitors from Estes Park on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park to Grand Lake on the west side. Trail Ridge Road leads visitors to mesmerizing high-altitude vistas.<\/p>\n

Due to high demand, reservations are required to enter Rocky Mountain National Park<\/a> during the peak season from Memorial Day weekend through mid-October. To purchase your timed entry pass, visit Recreation.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maroon Bells <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Perhaps you\u2019ve heard of the Maroon Bells or have seen photos of this pair of iconic red bell-shaped peaks near Aspen. Their claim to fame is that they are some of the most photographed mountains in North America. The peaks are 14-ers but are dangerous to climb, except for very experienced mountaineers. Even so, the valley that is home to these showy peaks, the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, is extremely popular, so much so that you must have reservations to visit the area between mid-May and late October<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indian Peaks Wilderness Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most popular wilderness areas in the country lies west of Denver and Boulder. Due to its beauty and proximity to large metropolitan areas, the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area now requires reservations both for day hiking<\/a> and for camping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The parking areas at Brainard Lake and Long Lake are excellent gateways for beautiful hikes in the summer and fall. It’s one of the most popular places in Colorado to hike with dogs.<\/a> (Be sure to keep your dog on leash.) As with all high-altitude hikes, check the weather in advance and bring plenty of food, water, rain gear and extra clothing. You\u2019ll start at about 10,000 feet above sea level and will venture higher in altitude if you\u2019re planning any hikes.<\/p>\n

The Manitou Incline<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of Colorado’s most popular places to test your physical fitness lies just west of Colorado Springs in Manitou Springs.<\/p>\n

The Manitou Incline<\/a> is an advanced, very steep hike up an old railroad bed. For hearty hikers and runners, the incline boasts 2,744 steps straight up. Incline enthusiasts gain nearly 2,000 vertical feet over less than one mile.<\/p>\n

The trail has become so popular that reservations for the Manitou Incline are now required.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hanging Lake <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of Colorado\u2019s most popular hikes leads to a serene lake in Glenwood Canyon. Because Hanging Lake has garnered so much attention, the U.S. Forest Service\u00a0has created a reservation system\u00a0for hiking or biking<\/span>\u00a0to Hanging Lake<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
