Rocky Mountain Park

Really great day with the kids at Rocky Mountain Park. We left early for the drive through Estes Park (small tourist town) to the Rocky Mountain Park for a hike with the kids. It was a beautiful day, not too cold, not too hot. The hike was about 3.5 miles and it was the kids longest hike. They did great, though we were all hungry when we finished. The final destination, the "Pool" was not all that great, but the Elk sightings were fun and exciting. One of the pictures is of Long's Peak which is the mountain Gregg hiked a while ago. (overnight hike up a 14,000' elevation) Needless to say, it was a hard hike and he suffered altitude sickness and the Marmots got his backpack food. I don't think I want to do that hike.......not the height thing, just don't want to loose my trail mix! We ended up in Estes Park and joined the tourist crowd and Gregg & Jen treated us to hamburgers, then some shopping. It was a wonderfull day and Chassis was really glad to see us when we got back to the RV.
