I found a great campground next to Rocky Mtn. NP. It is located at the Aspenglow entrance to the park on US34 outside of Estes Park. National Park Resort is built into the side of a hill so that few sites are on the same level. Across the valley is a great view of the Rockies and behind you is huge mountain of solid rock. One night, I looked up and saw 3 bull elk bedded down for the night (they were grazing when I woke up the next morning).

When I had a few minutes, I'd go 5 miles into the park to the best spot in the park to spot Big Horn Sheep. I got to watch them twice and watched 5 coyote pups playing the other times.
