Rocky Mountain National Park

TWO items are required to enter Rocky Mountain National Park.

 

​Park Pass

Fees & Passes - Rocky Mountain National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

All park entrance fees and passes are available for purchase at Rocky's staffed park entrance stations. Digital fees and passes can also be purchased online.

 

​Timed Entry Reservation

These will sell out very quickly on a first-come, first-served basis. It is best to plan ahead and book as soon as they are released. Tickets will be released on May 1, 2026 at 08:00 am MDT (10:00 am ET).  Only one reservation is required per car.

There are two different types of reservations available to choose from: "Timed Entry" (does not include access to Bear Lake Road) or "Timed Entry+ Bear Lake Road". Additional reservations will be released at 7 p.m. MDT (9 p.m. ET) on the night before a desired arrival date, but these disappear like Taylor Swift tickets on Ticketmaster.

RMNP's timed entry reservation system manages visitor access to maintain positive visitor experiences, promote safety, support the park’s ability to maintain daily operations, and protects the park's resources. Timed entry reservations spread visitor use out throughout the day and throughout the park.
