As a 34 year resident of Colorado, with extensive travel in the Estes Park, RMNP, Winter Park, Granby and Grand Lake areas, I think you only have a couple of options. First, you can go through the tunnel to US 40 over Berthoud Pass and on to Grand Lake. I hate Berthoud Pass and the traffic to Winter Park and on to Granby.
Second, and the one I would do is get off at Silverthorne and take Colorado 9 to Kremling and US 40 to US 34 to Grand Lake. If you are a bit frisky take Colorado 9 to Ute Pass Road 132 to Parshall on US 40 then on to US 34. 132 is mostly paved and the part that isn't is a well graded and traveled gravel road. Don't take 132 if snow is in the forecast.
