Rocky Mountain National Park

Today was my "Rocky Mountain National Park" Day. I had planned to spend all day there and then spend the evening in Estes Park where I would have dinner. You know what they say about best laid plans! Today was free admission to the park and I and a Million other park visitors went there. There was no parking anywhere, except with luck, on the side of the road, there was massive traffic everywhere (even a traffic jam at 12.000 feet - who knew such a thing existed?), and no wildlife anywhere. The poor animals were probably in hiding so they didn't have to face those horrible tourists! I did take pictures in the park and if, after looking at them, you think that I must like the mountains, then well, you are absolutely right!

I decided to leave the park early but going to Estes Park was just as bad. No parking, and all the roads were blocked. So, I headed back to the hotel. The drive to and from Estes Park is really beautiful and I'm glad not many people went that way. I had a nice, leisurely drive once I left the town and all the crazy people behind. For dinner I went to the same Restaurant as yesterday - it is in walking distance, they have the sports channel on in the bar, the food is good and I had another cosmo. Life is good!
