26 January - Rocky Mountain National Park was established

 


Rocky Mountain National Park, located in the U.S. state of Colorado, was established on January 26, 1915. President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation into law, officially creating the park. Spanning over 415 square miles (1,075 square kilometers), the park is renowned for its stunning mountainous landscapes, alpine lakes, diverse ecosystems, and abundant wildlife.

Rocky Mountain National Park attracts millions of visitors each year who come to explore its scenic trails, witness its wildlife, and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. The park is particularly known for its impressive mountain peaks, including Longs Peak, which stands at an elevation of 14,259 feet (4,346 meters), making it the highest point in the park.

The establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park was a significant step in the conservation and preservation of natural landscapes in the United States, contributing to the protection of the unique and diverse ecosystems found in the Rocky Mountains.
