On Saturday we went to Rocky Mountain National Park, and it was fantastic! I have been to RMNP a long time ago on a family vacation, but wanted to go see it again before our time in Denver is up. We went with our friend Will Webster who lives in Virginia, but is living in Denver for about a month while he attends sales school. We missed having his wife, Adaire along with us on this fun adventure. The drive there was beautiful, and our first stop was at Buffalo Bills grave.

Buffalo Bills GraveRMNP was beautiful, fun and well worth the drive from Denver. We drove the whole loop around the park and saw a lot of animals. We saw a ton of elk, I spotted a moose, chipmunks, and a lot of deer. When we were at the highest peak, only 12,200 feet above sea level, we saw a storm moving our way. We waited it out in a parking lot and loved being in the clouds during the storm. Will was hoping it would snow while we were up there, but it didn't. We stopped and played in the snow for a minute and I could not believe how much snow is still in the mountains! At the top of the mountain, it was a chilly 42 degrees. We were not prepared for that....I was in shorts and flip flops. :) It was a great day and we didn't want it to end.
