Just some random thoughts from our 2 months spent in CO. several years ago.
Use a wagon wheel approach to visiting places. Pick a somewhat central location and then use car to tour out from there. Saves a lot of frustration with the mountains and rig.
RMNP is a must of course. We dry camped in the campground for a week and had a great time.
The state parks of CO. are outstanding. Cheyenne Mt. SP outside of Colorado Springs is spectacular. The problem with their state parks is that for many/most of them, you have or should make reservations ahead of time just to be safe. The only other problem with CO is the lack of oxygen in the state!! :B
Great Sand Dunes NP and Manasa - Jack Dempsey's birthplace - are worth the visit. Also, Old Fort Bent is like stepping back into the old west.
