01-18-09 Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park:
The place we stayed was right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. After sleeping in a bit we headed out, drove around Estes Park a bit and then headed into the Park.
This is on the road right by where we were staying. Cool mountains.
On our drive right outside of Estes Park we stopped and played around on a frozen river.
An ongoing theme in Colorado is confusing or missing street signs. In this case they are technically correct, but at a glance (you know, while driving) it's a little confusing.
Once inside of the National Park we drove until the road was closed due to weather got out and came across this giant rock formation. Which we climbed.
Not quite to the top of the rock yet. But close.
A video of Kyde climbing up the last little bit of the giant rock. It really was an unreal height.
On top of the world.
I jumped off a rock and made a bitchin' dent in the snow.
A different rock, another amazing view.
Snowball!
We saw some kids making an igloo. Take that, Virginia.
Our first encounter with Mule Deer.
PPAAAAAAARRRRRTYY!
"I learned to climb like this in the Pacific Northwest."
We drove down into a cruddy little town in search of food. They had a huge frozen lake, it was pretty awesome looking.
Jesus.
NEXT!
