Take a day drive to this quaint little nearby town. A post office, a gift shop, a cafe and a pizza shop. Wild Basin is part of RMNP and offers hikes to multiple waterfalls. Long's Peak is a hike for the serious adventurers and climbers. St Malo is on the way and can be very mystical surrounded by fog.
