Home / Engagement Locations / Colorado / Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is a beautiful engagement location located in Estes Park, about 90 minutes from Denver.
The park features 415 square miles of breathtaking mountain views, including everything from meadows and valleys to forrest and tundra.
Some of the most stunning locations within the park can be found along the 48 mile stretch of Trail Ridge Road that links Estes Park and Grand Lake, travelling to nearly 12,000′ above sea level near the alpine visitors center. However, the road is closed in the winter months.
A commercial photography permit is required and costs $50 in addition to park entrance fees and must be applied for in advance. Current park entrance fees are $25/car for a single day.
Bear lake and Sprague Lake are great locations that are accessible throughout the year. If you’re willing to do some hiking there are some incredible locations with fewer people. I’m happy to share these locations with my couples.

WHY WE LOVE IT
There is a reason this gorgeous land is part of the National park system. It's easily one of the most beautiful and accessible locations in the whole state. I love taking couples to RMNP because we can spend the entire session in one area and come away with a vast collection of photos from different backgrounds and environments.
