Rocky Mountain National Park - 1 day or 2?

We’re going to be visiting RMNP next week. We’re planning as we go. What was your itinerary like? Do you think one day is enough? We’re flexible to add another day.
if you can write a few lines about how your day looked like, it will be great help!
As always, thank you so much for all the wonderful suggestions you all have given to plan this trip.

Advanced, timed, reservations are required for access to RMNP. Demand is high and you could be too late.

If all you plan to do is drive to scenic overlooks, one day will probably be enough.
If you are into day hikes, I recommend an extra day to see the beauty you can only get by hiking to it.

The beauty you can experience at RMNP with day hikes.

This all assume that you can get the entry passes on the days that interest you.
