We live south of Denver and go to RMNP (Estes) quite a bit. We usually plan ahead and stay in the park at either Glacier (closed for 2012 and 2013 due to park road construction) or Moraine Park campgrounds. Jellystone is about 20 minutes from the park entrance, it looks nice but seems tight as mentioned by Jim W.

Regardless, I would take Rt. 36 in to Estes and if you have an additional 30-45 minutes when you leave I would go out on Rt. 34 as it is a beautiful canyon, road same width as Rt 36, has numerous pull off opportunities, and is just an easier pull going downhill. Keep a lookout about halfway down Rt. 34 on the left there are often big horn sheep there.

Have a great trip, RMNP is one of the GREAT National Parks!
