Day 11

We planned our route to Rocky Mountain National Park to make it in our 10-12 window to enter. It was a crazy back route with a large portion on a dirt road…we made it with 15 minutes to spare. The oohs and ahhhs started immediately. We pulled off at every chance to explore. We all agreed we loved this area. It was much cooler today and I wore jeans…quite the turn around from the hot hike yesterday.  Again we took tons of pictures and I’ll share just a few. I did well until we got up to 12,000+ feet driving curvy roads with no guardrail…I had a major panic attack😳 The downside to a car full of boys is zero sympathy and actually attempting to make it worse…Does that look like the road is washing out to the side there? Boy if we hit that edge we’d roll for looong time. Brats! We got down to a lower level and I could breathe again😂 We got to see a lot of wild life including a momma moose and her baby. The grass was so tall we couldn’t catch the baby in a photo. The twins are quite the photographers and deserve the credit. We all agreed this was a fabulous replacement for missing out on Yellowstone.  Now we just have a couple days of straight driving to home.
