Trail Ridge Road

Trail Ridge Road offers the highest continuous paved roadway in the United States, cresting at 12,183 feet above sea level. This gives drivers breathtaking tundra views without leaving their car—a feat that surpasses even the famous Beartooth Highway, which reaches only 10,947 feet. The 48-mile route traverses alpine terrain with over 11 miles above treeline, providing a unique high-altitude experience unmatched by any other paved road in the Rockies.
