#159: An Epic Colorado National Park Road Trip Loop

Dear Bob and Sue: A National Parks Podcast

Join us as we take you on an epic road trip to all four of Colorado’s national parks!

These four parks are incredibly diverse, and this trip will have you driving through alpine forests in the Rocky Mountains, hiking up the tallest sand dunes in North America, climbing ladders as you explore cultural treasures, and standing on the rim of a seemingly bottomless dark canyon.

We’ve organized this episode with the road trip starting in Denver and driving clockwise around the state, but you can pick up our trail anywhere along the loop. And we’ve made suggestions for several add-on sites you’ll also want to consider, including Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Chimney Rock National Monument, and a mountain pass highway in southwest Colorado with million-dollar views.

Summer is here, and it’s time to hit the road. And we have the perfect itinerary planned for you – coming up!
