The riding in the Rocky Mountain National Park was just fantastic. Such beautiful scenery, the great winding roads we had to enjoy. We cooked hobo dinners over an open campfire the first night. The fire was a little hard to keep going due to the high altitude, but we managed to get dinner anyway. It would have been nice to have the space to carry a Dutch Oven, though.
On our way toward the visitors center at the top (over 11,000 Ft), we stopped to take a short hike on a trail leading to some snow that was still laying on the mountainside. It was great fun to have a snowball fight in the last week of July!!
We hung out for a bit at the visitor’s center, the headed around the other side of the park. riding through there was simply awesome! It's hard to put it into words.
Back at our campsite, we had a visit from a neighboring deer. He was no more that 30 of 40 feet from where we had out tents setup. It’s so awesome to be able to enjoy a plce like that.
When it was time to leave Rocky Mountain National Park, we decided to head almost straight north - toward Wyoming and Grand Teton National park.
Next stop - Lander, Wyoming.
