Rocky Mountain High, very high!

 

Today's ride was over 400 km through the Rocky Mountain National Park. The highest elevation was 12,183 ft., on Trail Ridge Rd. With the threat of the raging wildfires here in Colorado, we weren't sure if parts of the park would be closed....we took a chance and it was a very beautiful scenic tour!

Bits and pieces of the highway...many hairpin turns! Lots o' fun!

Just can't get enough of the view.

 

Cool trivia, we rode through Estes Park, the location for headquarters of Rocky Mountain National Park. The trivia part is in the town of Estes Park is the Stanley Hotel which inspired and was featured in Stephen King's The Shining! Kind of spooky.
