Thought of the day: It was a perfect day in Estes Park. In the morning, we drove to Rocky Mountain National Park and hiked on a short trail to Bear Lake, which was still completely frozen and covered by snow at this time of the year. And then we hiked on Lumpy Ridge trail in town. The first trail was surrounded by a forest and it was covered by snow and slippery. It was even snowing when we did the hike. The second trail was snow-free and dry and ran through some pretty interesting rock formations. It was nice and sunny when we did that hike. The two hikes couldn't be more different even though they were just within a short drive from each other. We literally drove from one climate zone to another in a matter of minutes. Jasmine and Lila were very excited by the adventure and they both enjoyed climbing up and down the rocks along the Lumpy Ridge Trail. In the evening, we checked out Rock Inn Restaurant which is a steak house and a popular music venue in Estes Park. The girls danced an evening away to the merry tunes played by a local musician.

| A wedding party in Stanley Hotel where we are staying at. Today must be an auspicious day to get married as we spotted at least 3 wedding parties in the hotel. Other than weddings, we also counted a lot of elks in RMNP and in town, including a dozen or so munching on the grass right outside of our hotel room. However, I took a lot more photos of wedding parties than elks, so the elks would have to wait until our next trip to get on the blog! |
