We won't be jeeping, hiking, or riding horses. Mostly I'd like to hear about great towns and scenery. A little someplace to walk around in the day, and then a great place to camp.
Dry campsite ideas are welcome too. We are driving a 25 foot Class C.
Most likely we will be starting up north, and working our way down to New Mexico. If you think a particular routing is especially good for that, please say so.
Thanks!
(I'll be cutting and pasting similar questions for some other states.)
If you don't hike then a day will do you in RMNP - Grand Lake maybe a few days - neat town - lake headwaters of the Colorado River - then Kremmling might be fun for a 1/2 day - then head down to the City - ski town of Breck - really too many people for me - Up to Leadville - Turquoise Lake - Red Cliff - History - town - Quincy's - Down to Buena Vista - K's for lunch then the Collegiates for a great drives on the gravel roads - maybe to Crested Butte - Rt 82 in the Toad to Maroon Bells - now you have the new National Monument Browns Canyon - Just love this area. BUT a couple of really neat spots to Lose yourself in the Mountains that would be Lake City - Rivers - drives - Lakes - History - just comfort and away from the world. Need a little more civilization - Ouray and Telluride will be fun - Then if you still need a couple of places that are just special - Redstone and Marble off Rt 133 towards Carbondale. If you follow these spots on a Point to Point - you will likely loop the center of Colorado - then out to Moab and down to New Mexico.
These places will fit this description - "great towns and scenery. A little someplace to walk around in the day, and then a great place to camp."
Personally I think if I could get the Family out to these spots I could spend the rest of my life in these Great Towns.
But I Love Boulder and Golden too - just hard to find a great spot to camp without a lot of luck.
Let us know what you do and then how you liked it.
Best of Luck,
