Estes Park, Colorado
After 2 days in Boulder, our next stop is Rocky Mountain National Park. As you can see from the photos it is beautiful here and we are enjoying viewing the wildlife. Elk and Big Horn Sheep wander the park. It has been really cold here and snow is in the forecast every day. No worries– we have a fireplace in our little mountain cottage so we are nice and warm inside. Looking out our window we see wild turkeys parade by and a view of Castle Mountain.
Our first day the weather was mild and sunny, so we hit the trails and hiked Deer Mountain, about 3 hours. We never made it to the summit, however because bad weather was moving in. If we get a fresh snowfall, I will try to build another snowman.
