Road Trip - Day 10 - Estes Park, CO

Day ten was the first of three days in Estes Park, Co, during which we spent most of our time in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was definitely the highlight of our trip so I hope you are ready for a lot of pictures.



We had lunch at the ranger station. This was definitely the best picnic spot of the trip. Then, the kids participated in a great Junior Ranger program.


Ely did such a good job of looking after Finn.




They were very proud of their badges. They spent a lot of time working on their ranger books and wore those badges every day that we went to the park.

Next, we drove up the Trail Ridge Road:









We went on the most beautiful alpine hike:

There were so many different wildflowers.








Our first elk sighting.
