Considering a ride from Boulder to Grand Lake, via Ward, Allenspark/Estes, and Trail Ridge.

I've done the first and last thirds of this ride, but have never ridden Ward to Estes via Peak to Peak and Hwy 7.

Can anyone shed any light on Ward to Estes? looking for info like road conditions, safety, traffic levels, and even suggested places to stop and refuel.
