A few good sunrise locations in Rocky Mountain National Park are: Moraine Park, Sprague Lake, Dream Lake, Gore Range; good sunset locations are Rock Cut, the trail to Dream Lake. Note that Dream Lake and Emerald Lake are backlit at late afternoon. So, in general, they are not ideal locations for sunset.
Laurent Martres' book "Photographing the Southwest" provides excellent descriptions of Rocky Mountain National Park. I highly recommend it.
