Things to do in Rocky Mountain National Park

  1. A

    Holzwarth Historic Site

    When prohibition was enacted in 1916, John Holzwarth Sr, a Denver saloonkeeper, started a new life as a subsistence rancher. This site houses several buildings kept in their original condition, and hosts historical reenactments and ranger-led programs. The Heritage Days celebration happens in late July.

    The site lies at the end of a graded ½-mile path, easily accessible with strollers.
