Even at elevations above 8,000 feet the temperatures were in the 50's. On the drive to the park we saw a majestic ram standing on top of the one bluffs overlooking the Big Thompson River. Then we saw a huge elk lounging in the yard of one of the houses along the river. Within Rocky Mountain National Park we saw quite a few deer and one coyote. The main road is already closed for winter just a few miles into the park, but we enjoyed the part we were able to see.
Being just a little over an hour away from Rocky Mountain National Park comes in handy for spur of the moment excursions. After we were awake for a little while on Saturday morning I asked Margaret if she wanted to take a ride to Estes Park. We packed a picnic lunch and off we went.

You both look great. Wish Karen and I could have made it this summer but maybe next year! Much love.
