Sites to look up things to do:
My wife's mom wants to have a family reunion in Colorado in "someplace like Rocky Mountain National Park". I don't know what that means, but I am compiling a list of parks that allow picnic shelter reservations (I don't think RMNP does).
-
Chatfield State Park: --
Close to us (and to Denver), but not much what I would say is "Like
RMNP". Everyone would have to pay a State Park entrance fee
($5).
-
Golden Gate Canyon State Park -- Close & Mountainous.
Everyone would have to pay a State Park entrance fee ($5).
-
Pine Valley Ranch : JeffCo Open Space Park. We went
here for a company picnic at one time. Might be a bit far for
some people to travel?
- Rocky Mountain National Park: If the goal is to find someplace "Like Rocky Mountain National Park", then this is the best spot. I cannot think of anyplace in the world more like RMNP! Of course, everything is first-come first-serve. Also, entrance fees are big. And I don't know of any actual shelters.
