Rocky Mountain National is one of the best parks of the Rocky Mountain region. It's close to civilization for all those needs and wants and places to stay but still far enough away from any big city. Beautiful scenery, great wildlife, good park services, and lots of different things to do. All this and only 60-90 minutes from Denver. Just outside is scenic town of Estes Park - another great Colorado attraction. RMNP is a great alternative to the bigger parks in Wyoming and much easier to get to.
Pros: Inexpensive, Not Crowded, Great Location
