From Mexico to Alaska, for 2,700 miles the Rocky Mountain chain forms the backbone of North America, the world’s longest mountain barrier. Here tree line and tundra are accessible to all along Rocky Mountain National Park’s Trail Ridge Road. The highest continuous highway in North America, Trail Ridge Road tops out at 12,183 feet above sea level.
