Easy - with plenty of shuttle buses. I used Budget both times - pre booked, quick, reliable and efficient but did not always get what I booked and had no charge upgrades both times.
Have some small bills handy for the toll roads - they are the easiest and by far the quickest way out.

Oh and pack your ultra polite face - the people around there are way too nice and you will need time to acclimatize.

New question for anyone who's travelled there. How difficult is Denver airport with car rentals?

If you have them, bring stocking-foots that you can roll down. If we decide to wet wade you can wear the boots and leave the waders in the truck - but if we end up fishing outside the park you may need chest-high. I use Aquastealth studded boots everywhere except boats. If you really want to travel light, I have an extra pair of stocking-foot Simms you can use. I just sent them back for leak repairs and haven't used them since, so you'll be the QA/QC on their repair shop.

Andre,
If Jane's your wife, then Rolf is right you better bring her. The scenery is incredible along with the wildlife viewing. Even if she doesn't fish she will still enjoy it. As for the fishing, the Park waters are smaller size streams so a 4wt. rod some attractor dries and a pair a hip boots is all you need. Not much deep wading involved. More hiking than wading and alot more fishing than wading. Also, you can wet wade but the water is very cold and at 9000 to 10,000 feet...

If you were going out Rocky mountain National Park in the middle of July would you bring waders or wet wade? Also cleated boots or Orvis summer felt soled wading shoes? I'm trying to think travelling light.
