Morefield Campground

While Rocky Mountain National Park is certainly the most well-known and visited national park in Colorado, that does not mean you should skip the other parks the state has to offer. This budget-friendly guide will walk you through visiting Great Sand Dunes, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Mesa Verde National Parks, as well as Curecanti National Recreation Area and the Million Dollar Highway. Total trip time: 5-7 days Nearest major city: Denver Note: I have a separate guide dedicated entirely to Rocky Mountain National Park

A two week camping road trip visiting 4 Colorado National Parks and 3 National Monuments. Complete with where I camped on the trip and some local recommendations on places to eat. This trip is best not planned during the Winter (including late fall and early spring) since snow may make some routes impassable.

A brief overview of Mesa Verde National Park with some highlights for spending 1-3 days in the park.
