We mistakingly took the long way around Rocky Mountain NP and had to travel thru the entire mountain range with the camper. We crossed the Continental Divide, the snow was above the car! It was a white knuckle ride that none of us will ever forget, it was both frightening and exhilarating.
Our campsite was truly the BEST in the entire park (thanks to Daiv's stellar planning). We looked out across an elk grazing meadow with the mountains as a back drop. Last night at dinner, several elk and mule deer grazed their way to within 5' of our site. It was amazing.
We hiked to Alberta Falls and Bear Lake. And saw an amazing amount of wildlife, elk, mule deer, moose, ground squirrels, chipmunks, bird varieties. No bear yet.
The kids have become Jr. Rangers.
After two wonderful days of no electricity, Internet, or showers, we are headed south to The Great Sand Dunes National Park.
I will update the website when I can.
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn. J.M.
