This was our cabin in Estes Park...we had a great view of the mountains through the rain...sat out on the porch and watched the rain...sat in the hot tub and listened to the rain...(getting the theme here???)
We did a little shopping in Estes Park...a beautiful little tourist resort...we happened to time it just right between rain showers! Now if I can ever figure out my PhotoShop, I can get us both on the same bench!
This is a little stream running through town.
Just outside Estes Park is the Rocky Mountain National Park. We drove through the park and through the rain...it was beautiful!
We found two separate herds of elk right beside the road. This is the buck from the smaller herd...there were about 20-25 in this herd.
We pulled off to a viewpoint area...it was really cold and really windy...the first picture shows the view off to the right of the point...at the low spot at the lower right corner of the picture there were a couple of elk grazing...the second picture shows one of them...I would say my little camera has a pretty good zoom!
This is the second herd we came across...there were probably close to 50 elk in this herd.
Our second full day in Colorado was spent driving to Steamboat Springs. This is Grand Lake along the way.
In Steamboat, we rode the gondola up to the top of the mountain. Actually it wasn't even the top once we got there, but it was close. Here is the view from the top.
We didn't get to see everything we wanted to see, but I'm sure it will still be there whenever we get another chance to go.
