Location: Estes Park, RMNP, Trail Ridge Road
As a nice little warm up to summer and with the opening of Trail Ridge Road in RMNP the previous day we set out to make the grandiose drive from the entrance to RMNP all the way to the Alpine Visitor Center along a portion of Trail Ridge Road. Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road in the US (http://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/trail_ridge_road.htm). After the drive we walked around downtown Estes, grabbed lunch at a place we hadn't tried and spent some time at a Western Art and Artisan show. They had items such as arrowheads, custom handmade western knives, antlers, furs, painting, sculptures. I've really been into that sort of artifact genre lately so it sparked my creative interest. Anyway, Amanda got us a GoPro for Christmas and it captured some awesome shots and video from the drive. Once I get it all processed, I'll be updating this post since it's rather mundane without the spectacular views which words cannot even bother to describe.
