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!
