Leg 1: 94 mi, 3 hrs; enjoy an early morning trip through Rocky Mountain National Park. Dine in Granby or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it at any rest stop or picnic area. There are several.
Leg 2: 169 mi, 4 hrs; head up CO-125 to Walden and then head east into the Cache la Poudre Canyon, through Fort Collins and back down to Loveland again.
Caution: Watch for wildlife near the road in Rocky Mountain National Park. And as always, watch for sand and pea-sized gravel on the roads, especially in the Spring.
2. If you arrive at RMNP before 9AM, no timed entry needed or can do route in reverse to arrive at west side after 2PM (again no timed entry required).
3. Nice stop at Alpine Visitor Center near top of Trail Ridge Road
