Escape to Rocky Mountain

It has been so insanely hot here in Colorado that we decided to escape to Rocky Mountain National Park. It is only about 60 miles from our home. We met our son here on Sunday and drove up to the higher altitudes in hopes of temperatures lower than the high 90's and low 100s. 

Well, kind of. The temperatures at the top were in the low-80's. But the scenery was worth it. The elevation is around 12,000 feet.


It was also our son's birthday, so it was a wonderful way to spend the day. These pictures were taken at Rainbow Curve on Trail Ridge Road.




Even the elk in Estes Park thought it was too hot! Can't wait for fall.
