Rocky Mountain National Park

we spent monday
at rocky mountain national park

we drove trail ridge road
the reviews of the road made it sound
white knuckle

i guess everything is relative
not saying there werent a few spots
where the edge of the cliff was inches from the road
but after driving
bearstooth
pikes peak
yosemite
and idaho
trail ridge road was no worries

i knew it was near impossible to see a bear
unlikely to see a moose
but i was hoping to see a bighorn or at least an elk
but no luck in even seeing a marmot

it was still a beautiful ride
seeing the mountains and scenery

at the end we went on a hike to a waterfall
it started to rain
but it wasnt too bad
dad took his shoes off and wandered into the stream
above the waterfall and left a 2011 penny on a rock
