In 2015, it was the third most visited national park in the USA. Many visitors arrive by car. They drive along the Trail Ridge Road. The road was built during the 1930s. At the time, many of the western national parks were served by the railway. Travelers arrived on trains. But the railroad never served Rocky Mountain National Park. The National Park Service described it as “always_an_auto_park”. Rocky Mountain National Park's scenery(风景), hiking trails (小路), and wildlife attract huge numbers of visitors. It has over 480 kilometers of hiking trails. They include difficult climbs up some of the tallest mountains and forest hikes that lead to one of the park's many waterfalls. They also include trails to blue lakes. One leads to Mills Lake, in honor of Enos Mills. The view of Longs Peak from its lakeside is one of the finest views in the whole park. One of the most extreme hikes in the park is the Continental Divide Loop. The 86 kilometer path cuts through valleys and past lakes and waterfalls. It takes most hikers at least six days to complete.
