USA Alpine Visitor Center
The highest point on the trail ridge rd and apparently highest national park visitor center (per NPS). It has amazing views of the valley below and lots of wildlife around like marmots, elks, coyotes etc and a nice place to eat (trail ridge store)
Photography Tips
Another panorama place, so definitely a wide angle lens would be useful. A telephoto lens would also be useful if you are into wildlife/bird photography A tripod would be definitely useful as it would be quite windy at these elevations!
Travel Information
A huge parking lot along with a visitor center and a place to eat. Of course, you need to have your own car to get here though!
