Did you say a daytrip from Dakota Ridge? If so, I would not even consider Trail Ridge as by the time you get there it will be bumper to bumper and moving slowly with lots of people stopping.
Thom had an excellent suggestion - take a bus up to Bear Lake. Granted you will not see as much of Rocky but you will see one of the most beautiful places.

Depends upon your patience level.
BTW, our daughter went to London 30 years ago to study for a semester; she is still there!
