Had lots of fun at Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National.

Penelope's for a quick bite to eat before the climb.

Staple Stop we go to when we are there.

 

First, stop by the Alluvial Fan to check out the water fall.

 

Now, to the higher elevations.

The road is closed beyond the Rainbow Curve.

So, from there we walked as far as we could.

Here's a pit stop picture moment.

Looking back where we came.

 

Moving along... we came across this interesting sign.

Hmm, better stick to the road.

 

Made it beyond that bend in the picture above.

uh-oh, snow... I think we'll stop here and head back.

 

On the way back...

 

Time for a quick selfie... or two.

 

Walking back as enjoyable as going up.

 

What's this...

Heading back to the hotel in Longmont, a Rainbow showed us the way back.

Picture does not do show it well.

It was very bright and there was a second rainbow not clearly visible.
