Trip to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park and The Stanley Hotel - Feb. 2008

Hello all,

It's been quite a while since I last updated this blog. Please forgive me, it's been a very busy year. Nonetheless, I thought I'd share some of the backpacking, hiking and just plain sightseeing trips John and I have taken during the last year and a half.

This post contains pics of the drive to and the city of Estes Park, home of the Rocky Mountain National Park.

You will see pics of the beautiful mountains along highway 36, a stunning stone catholic church just off of the main highway, Bull elk fighting for female attention (some things never change! :)), a picture of the Stanley Hotel - made famous from the movie The Shining (we stayed at this hotel that night), and a pic of a beautiful lake near the hotel. We liked the hotel so much we went back in Nov. of 08! Last, but not least, we did a few miles of snow shoeing in the park.

Enjoy!
