The Colorado territory which encompassed the majority of the
Southern Rocky Mountains, the northeastern portion of the
Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains,
became the 38th state in the union on August 1, 1876.

Known for the four corners, (a common point with Arizona,
Utah and New Mexico) the "Centennial State" is just one of
three (including Wyoming and Utah) without natural borders.

Encompassing 104,094 square miles, Colorado's landscape
includes mountains, plains, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers
and desert. With a total of 54 "fourteeners", Mount Elbert is
the state's highest peak at 14,433 feet above sea level.

In 1909 Enos Mills envisioned preserving part of Colorado's
pristine Rocky Mountain wilderness as a location where future
generations could find rest and hope. After several years of
passionately sharing his vision through writing many articles
and letters, giving lectures nationwide and lobbying congress,
the vision for America's tenth national park was realized.

With the highest average elevation of any of our national parks,
358.3 square miles known as Rocky Mountain National Park was
established on January 26, 1915 by President Woodrow Wilson.

Today, the park has grown to more than 415 square miles with
an additional 465 acres being added when Congress approved
the expansion to include the area known as Lily Lake in 1990.
Averaging nearly three million visitors per year, the park is
a favorite destination of tourists from around the world.
