Leadville, CO to Rocky Mtn NP

Thanks, all, for your quick replies. There's so much to see in do in CO! I had to print out a CO map and section it in order to get my head around what to see & the miles between each area. Because of the mountains, places that appear to be close could be hours in mileage. Then I tried to determine a base-camp area in each section & plan to do day trips. We will spend a good month touring CO, then off thru Wy. In my entire cross-country planning, CO excites me the most! But it is very challenging to plan. (Especially when I read over & over again to make reservations). Lauren: thanks for your offer to help...I might need you two.
