Is there anything to see at RMNP after the Grand Tetons? I was very disappointed with RMNP. I would spend my time someplace else.

Must have something that People Like - Number three in the NP System and 4.156M people last year.
Perhaps you needed to "take a Hike" - if It weren't so crowded I think I'd spend a lot more time there - Truly a Beautiful Place when you just "Take a Hike"
With the Crowds we tend to enjoy the western side more but still get two or three visits a year to the Eastern Side.
So much to see and do in Colorado doubt you can do it all in just 12 months.
