Located in northern Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park protects part of the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains, reaching a sky-high 14,258 feet at Longs Peak. The differences in elevation create several diverse ecosystems, and the park was declared one of the first UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in 1976.
