| dbo:abstract | Rocky Mountain National Park's Alpine Visitor Center is located at 11,796 feet (3,595 m) above sea level at Fall River Pass, one mile west of the highest point on Trail Ridge Road and four miles east of the Continental Divide at Milner Pass in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is the highest visitor center in the National Park System. The Alpine Visitor Center includes restrooms, exhibits on the alpine tundra ecosystem, and a gift shop operated by the park's non-profit partner organization, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. The visitor center opens around Memorial Day and closes around mid-October due to snow and the extreme winter environment. In mid-summer, the visitor center is also usually accessible by Old Fall River Road, a 9-mile dirt road open to one-way, uphill vehicle traffic. Views from the Alpine Visitor Center include the Mummy Range, the Fall River Valley, and Trail Ridge to the east and the Never Summer and Medicine Bow ranges to the west and north. Hiking opportunities include the 1/4-mile round-trip Alpine Ridge Trail, commonly referred to as "Huffer's Hill," and the 8-mile round-trip Ute Trail to Milner Pass. Park Rangers provide park orientation and interpretive programs on the alpine tundra. Additional gift and food services at Fall River Pass are provided at the concession-operated "Trail Ridge Store and Cafe." (en) L'Alpine Visitor Center est un office de tourisme américain dans le comté de Larimer, au Colorado. Protégé au sein du parc national de Rocky Mountain, il est abrité dans un bâtiment situé au croisement de la Fall River Road et de la Trail Ridge Road au col Fall River, ce qui en fait, à 3 595 mètres d'altitude, le plus élevé des offices de tourisme opérés par le National Park Service. Construit en 1964, le bâtiment est trop récent pour faire partie des propriétés contributrices au district historique de Fall River Entrance, un district historique inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 29 janvier 1988. Il est listé comme propriété non-contributrice à ce district. (fr) |
