DesertHawk hasn't said it "all", I'm sure. Lot of country in Colorado I haven't seen.
Yep, I forgot Rocky Mountain Nat'l Pk. We have never camped there, but we did a day trip to it from Loveland, CO. We drove over the Trail Ridge Road from Estes Park to Grand Lake, CO. Very neat drives. Went by the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center returned by Fall River Visitor Center route. Should be Elk Herds to see. Plenty of scenery to marvel at. http://www.nps.gov/romo/index.htm
Entering from the West via Grand Lake might be a neat way to see RNMP from Fruita area. *Timber Creek Campground might work as a campground on the Westside of the Park....???
Lot of touristy things to see & do in Denver. We spend a fews days at Cherry Creek State Park one trip some years ago to explore some Denver attractions.
I've never been over by Georgetown, but my daughter & her husband stopped to ride a train there as they drove from MN to CA a few years ago. They enjoyed the Train Trip.
Never been to Steamboat Springs.
We drove from the Telluride area to Ridgeway to Montrose, toward Gunnison & the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nat'l Prk (but didn't go to it) on US 50. We turned off before Gunnison on CO 149 to Creede. (Born & raised near the Rio Grande River in South Texas & still live near it in New Mexico, so wanted to see it close to it's birth area). We spend a good part of a day & a night along the Rio north of Creede. If into fishing, it might be a good place to fish. Crystal clear, sparkling water rolling along, very neat area. Campgrounds Rio Grande Nat'l Forest
Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nat'l Park might be something to see when in the Ridgeway area.
From Creede area we drove over to the Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park. Lot of Sand for sure, neat too see. Nice little campground as well. http://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htm
Seems like many people go to South Fork, but I know nothing about the area.
We did stop at Dinosaur Nat'l Mon't (north of Fruita, but not close) when we were in the Vernal area on one trip. Kind of out of the way place.
Thanks Much to Two Hands & BriRene & to Smcrea for you kind words.
Happy Travels
