We used to do EP about 5 times a year (from Cheyenne). We had a routine down, got to bear Lake, walk around it then to the Alpine center taking Old Falls road (one way dirt road). Then over to the Grandby entrance and back around to the Alpine Center. Then down to Moraine park to watch the Elk. And then into to for Pizza and head back to Cheyenne.
Now you have a choice of 2 reservations, Bear lake corridor OR the rest of the park. You have to get your res. a month ahead with some next day avail the day prior at 5pm.
No more spur of the moment "hey let's go to RMNP"
" There will be no permits sold on site at the park."
