I think he means Riverview and a nice park; we stayed there when visiting Estes as I am no longer a big fan of the rv parks in Estes. But I think Riverview is still rebuilding from the flood damage.
I understand the "No Flush" zone in Estes is kinda back to normal but still a lot of work to do in the Fish Creek and some other areas.
Hwy 34 is passable but narrow in spots and limited areas of no protection like guard rails, etc. RV's can make it I am told but one would have to be very, very careful. It will be a few years before the road is completely re-built.
Having lived there for 8 years we still have lots of friends who live there; people cannot comprehend the terrible days and devastation and family home, etc, destruction - particularly in and around the Big Thompson River coming down along Hwy 34.
Talked to one person and they just got back to their place a month ago; and now have to deal with it all.
I traveled hwy 34 at Xmas, and it seemed fine to me. You may be correct about guardrails missing, but the new road is good road, similar to what it was before, maybe even wider in some places. I wouldn't hesitate to take an RV on it. Large semi-trucks travel it every day.
