Este Park/Rocky Mountain National Park




This is the prettiest place we know in the Rockies. The little city of Estes Park is the gateway to the East entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. The city is surrounded by high snow capped mountains and craggy rock formations spring up everywhere. It's very touristy but the main street is lined with beads and trinket stores. Still, the scenery is better, to our way of thinking, than Vail, Aspen or Steamboat Springs.

The weather was blustery and overcast. We stayed in the trusty Toyota at the national park campground. It snowed 8" at the height of the pass that night.
