--047d7b603d9a5aebc904e219f89b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Look at some of the Wilderness's located along the way of I-70: - Eagle Nest Wilderness (near and round Vail) - Snowmass/Maroon Bells and Holy Cross Wilderness (closer to Aspen, about an hour off I-70) - Flat Tops Wilderness (near Glenwood Springs) A great book for planning is the John Fielder's *Complete Guide to Colorado Wilderness's* * http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Colorados-Wilderness-Guidebooks/dp/156= 5790529 * * * Rocky Mountain Park is definitely a great place with lots of beauty. I have some trips planned for that area as well. Wilderness's on the other-hand require no registration fee's or the mandatory bear canister rental. Enjoy - there are many options for sure!
