Tundra Communities Trail
About
This easy, just over half-mile round trip trail is located just off of Trail Ridge Road, the highest elevation road in all of the national parks. With just a 260 foot elevation gain, this out and back trail is considered easy. Because Trail Ridge Road closes seasonly, this trail is only open for a few months a year. While walking through this tundra environment, hikres will see alpine plants that are often dwarfed beacuse of strong wind and cold temperatures. Hikers should take notice of the Mushroom Rocks, which are tall rock formations made of gneiss and Silver Plume granite along the trail. This trail is sometimes referred to as the Toll Memorial Trail, because it home to a memorial for Roger Wolcott Toll, a major figure in the early history of the National Park Service and one of the first caretakers of Rocky Mountain National Park.
