From Yellowstone south exit you need to get on Hwy 130 south after Rawlins,WY. This will take you through Saratoga, WY and you will see turn for Snowy Range Scenic bypass. The road is fine for 36ft RV there are some parking lots you may fit in for the views. Continue to Laramie, WY then head on 287 south to CO. I estimate it may take you 9-10 hrs or so.
Is the Snowy Range Scenic Byway road typically covered with snow during early October

Sorry--I do not know. We were there end of June when they had just had some late spring snow. With the crazy weather, right now, and snow in Yellowstone already--I would check with the Welcome Center out of Cheyenne--307-777-2883. I did read that the Snowy Ridge road closes mid-November - almost 11,000 ft at peak--so you never know.
How long does it take to drive the snowy range scenic byway from say, Estes Park to Saratoga? Is it open mid-May?
A:
Estes park is no where near the snowy range scenic byway You would either have to go over trail ridge road and head towards Walden and Wyoming, or go back down to Loveland and …
Estes park is no where near the snowy range scenic byway You would either have to go over trail ridge road and head towards Walden and Wyoming, or go back down to Loveland and take 287 through Laramie... Several hours....I’d say at least 3
I'm heading out to WY & hiking in Snowy Range next weekend. Do I need to bring bear spray? Haven't heard if there have been any bear sightings on the trails this season. Thanks!
A:
Better safe than sorry, history (and my brother Elk hunter) says he's seen scat. Have seen bear & cats @Rock Creek (to the East) ...JIC..
Going camping in the Snowy Range this July, any information on the campgrounds and if any swimming is allowed in the lakes or creeks? Thank you!

There is a very good guide on the visitlaramie site. You can download a map and there are many points of interest outlined. Yes, there is camping but I don't know anything about the campgrounds. The above site has some listed. It is a lovely drive and I did not find any part of the road difficult. Enjoy your trip!
