In that area, the main roads go through or around the Rocky Mountain National Park. The upside is that the RMNP is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The downside, every tourist around will be on those roads, and some with campers and RV's they don't know how to drive.

A bit further away from that area are some roads less-traveled that would "fit the bill" for "twisty-riding". Only thing on mountain roads is... you don't want to miss a corner...

Just made my reservations at Estes Rodeway Inn. They had the group rate $95.95 working. No deposit but credit card required. I got the "cheap" room, probably upstairs. I've been through this area when I was a kid. Am looking forward to riding the high roads and seeing you'all again.

Gibby.... think we can find the hail again? BnG
