Trip to Boulder, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park


View of the mountains over Boulder. I loved Boulder. It was gorgeous. The town was so quaint and pretty. We spent the afternoon walking along their riverwalk park.


As you drive into Estes park there is a sign that says "animal crossing on all roads". I thought that was a little strange and then a few minutes later mum and I saw a herd of Elk.


Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful. Unfortunately, there was still a lot of snow of the trails and so we couldn't go hiking as planned. We did start on one trail, but three feet of snow in the afternoon snow translates into stepping in snow up to your knee. After we'd both fallen down, Mum and I decided to turn around. Wyatt didn't even want to walk because it was so slippery, so I had to trudge back to the car carrying him. Good exersize!
