| Estes Park, CO |
Today we drove up the Big Thompson Canyon to Rocky Mountain National Park. Even the drive up is beautiful. At the top of the canyon sits Estes Park, a beautiful mountain town. Estes Park is just a couple of miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.We arrived in the park in the late morning and found a great camping spot on a high bluff overlooking a beautiful meadow, we decided to stay at least three days. The weather here is cloudy and chilly. In the afternoon we took a couple of shorter hikes, an easy hike up to Alberta Falls and the nature trail around Bear Lake we had wanted to do more hiking but it started to rain. The trails are still covered with snow on the northern sides and we're talking about a lot of snow. We have no electricity in the campground so the nights are cold.
