Colorado Rockies
We are planning a visit to the Colorado Rockies and would like to know the best places to see and to stay with a big rig.

It depends on what you want. My preference, in season, is the Gunnison valley, Black Canyon and the reservoirs upstream (Curecanti NRA). I like to see the geology, and I like being on fishable waterways. These are along US-50 on the west side of the continental divide.
For these places, rig size is pretty much irrelevant.
If your interest is the Rocky Mountains specifically, that would be from Colorado Springs north to Rocky Mountain NP, as the mountains are most impressive on the Front Range. Once you are up on top of them, the mountains don't make as much of an impression.
