Colorado Rockies

russkerri we stayed at Grand Lake called Elk Creek Campground. It was about a 5-10 minute drive to the RMNP. Nice park we had lots of space. Nice people. Elk and suppose to be moose in campground occasionally we didn't see any. We drove to the RMNP over to Estes Park one day for lunch. We packed our lunch and had it a few days in the RMNP. Grand Lake town is cute with shops, restaurants, we sat and listened to music in the park. Would stay there again. Grand Lake is pretty, Granby lake is also close by with lake things to do. Visit the visitors center that's how we found out about the music in the park. We also had fun in Montrose, CO. loved the Black Canyon of Gunnison. Visitors center there we found out about a farmers market, wine tasting event, etc. Enjoyed our stay there. We then headed to Durango, CO. We have been there years ago. We rode the train to Silverton, put our dog in doggie daycare close by. Mesa Verde, Aztec ruins,shops, restaurants etc. Nice trip. Suggestion is to check roads for construction and road closures, it really helped us.
