Rocky Mountain National Park

Yesterday we went to RMNP with Mary, Greyson, and Joe. We started with a nice picnic lunch just inside the park. Then we took a one-way dirt road up the side of some amazing mountains! We stopped at Chasm Falls and hiked up and down the creek. The girls were great at scrambling over the huge boulders.









We stopped at some scenic turnouts and at a hiking trail. We didn't hike far due to the mosquitos, but we saw lots of elk poop! Above the tree line we saw a small herd of elk right by the road!!


After stopping at a visitors center and hiking on the alpine tundra, girls started falling asleep, so we started our drive home.



We enjoyed another yummy dinner at Erica and Carter's house, and finished watching Gnomeo and Juliet. The girls treated us to a talent show with Auntie Erica's keyboard and microphone. Another fun day in Colorado!!

    I think we have pictures at some of the same spots! Isn't that dirt road to the type crazy!!!! We took it when it was raining out and just a little part of me was scared we'd slide right off the edge.
