Volunteer

 

Rocky is proud to have a robust volunteer program, with over 900 volunteers supporting the park throughout 2025.

When you visit Rocky Mountain National Park, you might find volunteers in the visitor centers, at trailheads, in campgrounds, and other popular park destinations such as Sheep Lakes or Junior Ranger Headquarters. These volunteers help improve visitor experience by sharing their vast knowledge of the park—from wildlife viewing to safety tips, these volunteers provide personalized service to the park's visitors.

Behind the scenes, other volunteers assist with resource management, facility maintenance, and administrative tasks. While you may not get to meet these volunteers during your visit, you can witness the impacts of their service. On your hike, you might enjoy a trail that was recently cleared of fallen trees and debris. While enjoying the views in Moraine Park, you might see a meadow that was cleared of invasive plant species. If you send an email to the park to ask about interpretive programs, you can receive a thoughtfully crafted response with information to help you plan your visit.

All of these experiences are made possible by the service of our volunteers.
