Leaving Rocky Mountain National Park to valleys below with it`s lakes, rivers & gorges

John's Comments Sometimes taking roads to save time can bring unexpected surprises. Here is a drive that few are fortunate to see. Very pleasant drive, with many back unpaved roads, thru the mountains and valleys.
John`s Recollections - 2009

Trying to save time, we went off the beaten path, but in the end spent much more as many stops were made along the way to view the beautiful scenery. For those that may wish to follow a similar route, I`ll try to provide a recap from the park itself. Hwy 34 south to Hwy 40 intersection, west to Kremming, Hwy 9 south for 2-3 miles to a dirt road (Trough road) and go west to Hwy 131, then south to meet Interstate 70 at Wolcott. Certainly there are better roads, but likely not as exciting or scenic.
