Rocky Mountain National Park is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It was just so peaceful there! I was telling Dan that it is so weird that when we talk about vacation, the first thing I think of is the beach!! Not anymore!
Dan decided we needed to drive up the dirt road, which we were about 1 foot from the cliff of the mountain, with no guardrail, and no way to turn around. I found the whole meaning to hairpin turns! Very scary at times! Then we actually hiked up one mountain and Trent was so tired, he actually laid down!! We ate lunch at the top and then headed back down to reality.
The way down was much faster because it was a paved two lane road. We stopped several times to look at the lookouts and see wildlife! At one stop, it must have been the chipmunk hangout, the chipmunks came right up to Dan and Taylor. One even chased Trent because it thought he had food. Everyone was feeding them! We also had to stop several times for elk and mule deer crossing the roads.
Once we were back down, we went to Bear Lake before we left. That place was absolutely breathtaking. There we many trails to hike and and a great trail around the lake. I would love to camp there. Although, the Black Bear would always be in the back of my mind;-)
This was by far my favorite day of the trip!
