Rocky Mountain National Park

We did our first of hopefully many visits to Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday. It was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be getting a yearly pass and going back hopefully once a month. It was so huge and we were not quite sure where to go. It was also very crowded with summer being the peak season for visitors to the park. For our first trip there, we did the long drive along Trail Ridge Road. We stopped at the Alpine visitor center at 11,796 feet. It was quite chilly up this high and we were all a bit cold. The road we took is the highest paved road in any national park in the United States. It is typically open from June to some time in October. We brought back our map and have already picked a spot for our visit next month to picnic and let the kids roam around rocks and creeks.
