What to see in Colorado for three weeks?

Good morning I'm sitting here in Estes Park Colorado and want to tall my 41 for Big Horn down to Golden Colorado can anybody so just a route

Hills mountains curves does not bother me

Take Highway 36 from Estes to Boulder, then take Broadway Street south through town and it turns into Highway 93, which will take you in to Golden!

It is a nice drive with awesome scenery . . . however, 93 can get a little windy at times.

If you go through Boulder, I would take 28th street and hook up with 93 at Baseline. Taking Broadway will take you through downtown and the college campus. You will be huge and slow and everyone else will be small and quick. It is also very busy with cars and pedestrians. I would also consider Foothills Parkway and Table Mesa Dr to Broadway/93 - this route is even less crowded than 28th street.

I suggested the other way because those other routes, even though more direct, can get quite confusing.

Where Broadway is a straight shot.

It is not that bad . . . I've driven down Broadway with trailer in tow (we used to live in Boulder).

I use to live in Boulder too. I agree with the straight shot comment, but you were not pulling a large and heavy fifth wheel. If you go on Broadway, be prepared.

At our 2015 Fall Colorado HOC Rally in Central City we did a group tour at the Coors plant . . .

Their parking lot was pretty cramped as I recall . . .

You may want to contact Coors . . . they may have another parking lot where you can park an RV.

Here is a shot of the parking lot at the tour site:

By the by . . . there was a second parking lot behind where I took this shot (where we parked), but it was tight just like the one in the photo).

I used to work at Coors and am not aware of any RV parking. There is a Home Depot just south of Golden where you could drop your unit during the tour. There is also a Walmart just east Golden. The photo provided by JohnD is not the tour visitor lot.

Yes, it is!

TOUR visitor parking is just outside the main gate on Ford Street between 13th and 14th streets. The lot you pictured is for plant visitors not for tours. However, its been a while since I worked there maybe things have changed.

(update) Nope, nothing has changed. Just checked.

After you leave the mountains I suggest you visit Bent Fort near La Junta.
