Estes Park, CO

 A couple of photos of the view as we drove to Estes Park.  The Rockies are spectacular!  Lots of glaciers visible as well as the rocky peaks.  Winding road that went up, up, up.  We are around 7400 feet.  I get a little claustrophobic on the road.  Just don't like the hemmed in feeling with rocky walls on both sides of the truck but it is so gorgeous.

Another pic of the view as we drove to Estes Park.  The office,going to check in.

The truck peeking out around the big arks with the mountain overlooking our site.  View out of our window, that is Estes Park at the base of the mountain.

The board above our heads welcomes newcomers to the campground.  My name is there.  A little visitor to our site this evening.

The drive was uneventful and not very long.  We didn't have to leave early and we could take our time getting here.  It doesn't take much activity to get the heart beating due to the elevation.  Very warm when we arrived, it was in the 90's in Boulder but cooled to the 80's once we got here.  Thunder storm with high winds cooled it down to the 60's then the sun came out and it has been a very refreshing 71, humidity around 45%.  Raining again right now but supposed to be clear tomorrow.  Until tomorrow...
