The leader of the successful campaign was Enos Mills, a writer and nature guide, who moved to Colorado because of its clear air that helped him cope with health problems. In 1889, Mills traveled to California to see the Pacific Ocean, and on a beach in San Francisco, he ran into the famous naturalist John Muir, who later became a role model and encouraged Mills to follow his dream of creating Rocky Mountain National Park. During the past 100 years, the park has added campgrounds, roads, visitor's centers, a trail system and many programs and recreational options. After the floods, the Federal Highway Administration stepped in to repair Old Fall River Road, one of the biggest reconstruction projects.
