Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Today we went way way up (12,000 ft) into the Rocky Mountains. The change in scenery was spectacular-from the dense evergreen forest to the barren alpine (above the treeline) terrain. Of course we had to get our shopping in at Estes Park- a great town NW of Boulder. We saw some interesting wildlife- elk, pica and marmot. Tomorrow we head to Topeka , Kansas on our path back east.
