An idea, not locked in yet.

About 1.5 hours from Denver, through Estes Park. Late September is when the bull elk bugle in the meadows and the aspens turn gold.

• Car reservations: each car needs a reservation to enter between 9 am and 2 pm. Details
• Dress warm: Trail Ridge Road climbs past 12,000 ft and it's much cooler up there. Bring a layer.

Safe travels home

DEN is 30–40 minutes from Denver or Broomfield, and security lines can be long. Leave extra time. Thank you for coming!
