Much as I love RMNP and the area in general, the negatives that have been pointed out are very correct. While the beetle kill is worse on the west side, there's also beetle kill on the east side, so much so, that many dead trees have been cut down for slash burning when snow season hits.
And...as others have pointed out, Thunder Mountain's area of the state, down in Buena Vista/Salida/Arkansas River Valley area, has views and opportunities that should not be missed.

So...in addition to RMNP, consider the Arkansas River Valley area; you won't be disappointed.
