Rocky Mountain NP is a great place. I've been there several times.russ_watters said:I didn't tell anyone I was taking a little vacation (I have a laptop, so I'm still connected), but I'm in Ft Collins, Co right now for a brew fest. I'll be heading out for day 1 soon...
This photo is last night in Estes Park, a little town on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The drive out there was though a very cool mountain gorge.
Have a great time, and don't overdo it. Drink plenty of fluids at those elevations (it's easy to get dehydrated in the drier air) and go easy the first few days.
I made the mistake one time of trying to climb to the continental divide. I carried minimal water (about 1 qt), and by late afternoon, I was pretty tired. By the time I was back in camp, I was pretty ill.
Enjoy, and have a pleasant and safe vacation.
