Great Rocky drive
Get in before 9 without a pass and use the gypsyguide for the best tour. It will take all day if you go to Grand Lake but you cannot renter without a timed pass. Lot’s of places to stop along the way great scenery. Bring warm clothes for the top. It’s windy and cold at Alpine. Also good to bring food for a picnic. Sheep meadow was good for seeing moose. Visitor centerS were not that helpful

Natural High on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful and easy to navigate to see in 2-days. The park charges a $25 fee per day and definitely due to the virus you should book your reservation 2 hour time slot prior to arriving. We went while the weather was still very nice so I can't comment on what's it like to visit during the winter hours but there was a fire nearby that closed Trail Ridge Road but we got lucky and didn't have to turn around and go back out the west entrance. We were able to drive through the park and exit near Estes Park. Definitely drive "Trail Ridge Road" during the summer before they close it down during the winter (we heard that it can be closed during the winter). The park offers a lot of hiking trails. Unfortunately during our visit both Visitor Centers were partially closed due to the virus and that was disappointing. Not many people know this but the Colorado River starts inside this National Park but during our visit the trail to the site of the beginning wasn't open. If you visit maybe you can hike this trail to see the beginning of this famous river. I've heard that this is the THIRD most visited National Park in the country so if you visit I think you will be glad you did!
