Spend 24 hours in the Rocky Mountain National Park, while only traveling six miles into the park, in less than a five minute read.

Well over 22 hours of driving with +1,375 miles covered over 3.5 days including destinations such as Mesa Verde, CO, Monument Valley, UT, Arches National Park, UT, Canyonlands National Park, UT and wrapping the trip up at Rifle Falls, CO.

Based purely off of the clock, theoretically, there was just enough time to head down to the dunes, grab a few sunset images, get some rest and then get into place for a morning’s sunrise. The question was, could we make it all happen in reality?
