Cool... that actually sounds like a good place to start. We're trying to
figure out what town we want to be camped near that would put us close enough
to Denver to drive there for day trips. Personally, I'm leaning towards
Breckenridge, but I haven't done much exhaustive research.

I'm curious to see what the area is that we're looking at within a 2-hour
drive of the city. Then once we pick a town, it might be a good idea to
narrow down.

Sounds like it would be worth looking in to.

Brrr... :-) From what I've found of the climate, spring and fall get pretty
chilly at night up in the mountains. Many of us are going to be camping, so
the weather is definitely a consideration.

Thanks for your help.
