We have now visited several of the crown jewels of the national park system, but I think my favorite will always be Rocky Mountain National Park.  While in Estes Park I had the opportunity to meet up with Cynthia and escape from the RV for a couple of nights.  We stayed at the Allenspark Lodge while Joseph and Amber were in the RV.  It is a wonderful lodge.  Cynthia and I have stayed there many times over the years.

The reason I like Rocky s much is because of the wonderful hiking.  Cynthia and I attempted to hike Deer Mountain for the second time, and for the second time we had to turn back because of thunder storms. 


The views from the top are supposed to be wonderful, but I am not sure I will ever see them.  On our first day, Joseph, Cynthia and I hiked along a mountain stream.


After Cynthia left, Joseph and I hiked around a lake and to a waterfall.




More views from Rocky hikes.


And you can't visit Estes Park and not see an elk wandering around town.

We are currently in Angel Fire, NM and will move on to Santa Fe before heading back to Texas.  Has it cooled down yet?
