Introduction

Basking in the beauty of the glorious Rocky Mountains, from ranch lands to ski slopes, dense forests to rushing rivers, the Mountain Region is an awesome home to wildlife and a rewarding destination for travellers.

Although it's known for its soaring snow-capped peaks, the Mountain Region encompasses much more. The grasslands of the Front Range on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains have their own quiet beauty. These wide-open spaces are stunning in their vastness, home to real cowboy and Indian culture. National parks and wilderness areas preserve ancient landscapes that harbor bison, bears and other species rarely seen elsewhere. Spectacular scenic drives are matched by an array of activities: skiing, horseback riding, fly-fishing, white-water rafting, mountain biking and much more. Discover ghost towns, watch a rodeo, hike gentle paths or backcountry trails, all against the magnificent Rocky Mountain backdrop.
