Rocky Mountain National Park is GORGEOUS!
The scenic beauty is amazing.
You can always see many elk and other wildlife in the park. There are many bighorn sheep, also- but I've not seen one yet.
Don't miss Trail Ridge Road- the highest continental paved road in the U.S. The views are breathtaking and spectacular. You can take that to Grand Lake- which is absolutely lovely.
I wish that the park would have an official Lodge (ie: like Old Faithful).
Pros: wildlife, scenic beauty, great location
Cons: no dogs allowed, can be crowded, no official LODGE
