Denver is about a 1.5 hour drive to Estes Park, entrance to the National Park, and home to the famous Stanley Hotel, Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining - a beautiful day trip. You are guaranteed to see elk, though moose, bears, pika and marmots are not out of the question!

Colorado is home to more that fifty 14,000 foot peaks, and a few are considered non-technical and can be hiked in a day.
