Out of Estes get to RT 7 to Peak to Peak Highway - Rt 72 may look a little wavy but is an Excellent Road with your rig. In Nederland it will switch to RT 119 -- supper scenic drive to I-70 - now west on I-70 to RT 91 exit 195? to Leadville, more beautiful easy driving. depending on your timing you can camp here or Twin Lakes or Buena Vista/Collegiates.
I am 100% with Busskipper on this one. The Peak to Peak is one of my favorite drives. Just know this: there is hardly a straight or level mile on it. I do not mean that to be negative. this is always the route I take from Estes Park to Buena Vista--and I've made that route several times--my daughter lived in Buena Vista.
The way to enjoy Peak to Peak is not the be in a rush to get somewhere, but to enjoy the drive itself as your purpose.
Well said, I will just do the drive when I have the Time, then turn around and Drive Back - it is a Favorite.
