Rocky Mountain National Park, June 2010 Slide Show

Bark Beetle Infestation

Bark beetles have generally infested all evergreen forests located on the eastern slope of Colorado, including the evergreen forests of the Rocky Mountain National Park. In just a few more years, these forests will be mostly dead, killed by this devastating insect. It will be many generations before the beauty of the forests will be with us once again. Now is the time to visit the wild areas while the forests are still green.
