Very beautiful, well worth the detour. There is still snow up there and we were unable to do any walks. Mirror Lake and walk to it, still frozen and snowy. Enjoyed the drive. Full review by DMfromTx

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.

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?

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!

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!
