This is your 5 day itinerary in Rocky Mountain National Park!! The park is large and you’ll need at least 5 days in the park, more if possible, especially if you are an avid hiker!
We love RMNP. It’s one of our favorite places in Colorado. Any chance we get, we go! In 2022 we were able to get to the park twice! Once in May and once in September.
The below itinerary is (almost) the exact one we did when we were there last. We also added an additional few stops to Bear Lake, ok make that every day! Yes we went into the Bear Lake Corridor every day! But you don’t have to.
*This guide is based on your stay being primarily in Estes Park over the visit, however, it can be adjusted if you were staying near the Grand Lake entrance also.

Every detail about how I pulled off a trip around the Western United States and saw some of the country's most incredible natural wonders for less than $1,300 total. 🤯 Of course, this is the exact route that we used, but there are plenty of other options to choose from. Keep in mind, this is definitely not the itinerary to follow if you are looking to spend a significant amount of time in one specific area. We intentionally planned to see some major highlights along the trip and knew going into it that we would miss a lot of what these parks have to offer.

Dog-friendly trip through Colorado's four national parks and some stops in between :)
I took this trip in mid-October while I was living in Billings, MT. If driving isn't an option, I recommend flying into Denver, renting a car and doing Rocky Mountain NP last.
