Almost Forgot

I did mention the view from Old Falls Branch Road in the RMSP being spectacular. I don't want to be called a tease so here is one of the overlooks probably around 10,000 feet. The smoke in the valley is from a controlled burn that was being done the day I whizzed through the park.

Rocky was great

Rocky was GREAT!! Yes, the movie too but I was in 9th grade when I saw it. Rocky Mountain National Park is referred to as Rocky (well according to one of some dozens of brochures I paged through later after I got to WY. This photo is of the Never Summer Mountain Range as viewed from the Trail Ridge Road which is the highest through road in the US. I also took that Mustang up the Old Fall River Road which is incredibly steep grades of 11 and 12%, and a combo of gravel and dirt with switchbacks that almost made me want to back down the way I came. The view from OFRR was spectacular and well worth the heart palpitations.

Estes Park

So if you live here in Estes Park? Where would you go for pretty scenery?
