Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
(Sightseeing)
June 18, 2017
From Denver we drove north to Loveland where we stayed overnight prior to driving through Rocky Mountain Park. With a name like Rocky Mountain it stands to reason that the park has some major passes to navigate. By the time we got through the entire park we had gone over 3 huge passes (12k, 11k and 10k) driving the motorhome and pulling our car. Happily we had no problems - our biggest complaint was the lack of places where you can pull a motorhome over and take pictures. Even the 3 visitor centers lack parking space for motorhomes so we missed them entirely! The road itself is another testament to the hard working folks who build our roads. The obstacles they overcome so we can drive there are amazing. It was quite a trip. My arms were tired from steering around all the curves.

Looking at the Rockies from Estes Park, Colorado. This is clearly a favorite place with
tourists Lots and lots of cars everywhere along with hotels, motels, cabins, condos, etc. |

| It was an absolutely beautiful day. |
 |
| Still lots of snow up top. |
 |
One of the few places we could actually pull off the road.
It was really chilly out there. |

| Above tree line. |

| Sheer rock cliffs. |
