Route from Ft Worth to Estes Park
Anyone have any suggestions on best route from Fort Worth to Estes Park. We want to take about 2.5 days to get there. What towns are good stopping points for 2 nights.

Are you looking for parks to overnight or are you fine with rest stops, truck stops, Wal-Mart or other parking lots? Palo Duro Canyon is a little bit out of the way and has a steep climb. Woodland Park sets you up to travel up 67 the next day.
There are many truck stops and RV parks to overnight in Amarillo. To me, 287 north of Amarillo is some of the most boring stretch of road in the nation, but it will get you there.
I totally agree. It is boring road. Just flatland and prairie as you get farther north. But, we have always had good success going that route when heading to Wyoming. We have also taken the I-25 route, where you go to Amarillo, the turn and head over to Raton, NM. I just don't care for that hill coming out of Raton headed north to the Springs. It's steep and fast. My two cents.
