Although Rocky Mountain National Park has specific rules about the distance your backcountry campsite must be from roads and trails, they also expect that you will camp on durable surfaces free of vegetation. Almost all the routes in this guide use formal trails for their entire length, but those trails often travel through alpine areas where vegetation is fragile and can’t withstand even a few people stepping on them in a week’s time. Tread lightly by always staying on the trail, even if you have to step into a puddle or hop across rocks.
