Some of my favorite spots for pictures are:

Trail Ridge Road

Trail Ridge Road goes for miles. It winds up the mountains and there are endless spots for incredible pictures. One of my favorite spots is literally about 500 feet from the road. It has a mystical looking boulder that creates epic pictures!

If high altitude is not your thing, there are wonderful spots at lower elevations. From open meadows to mystical forests.
