Doing Estes and More

Doing Estes Park together was kind of like a repeat Honeymoon.
Both were exploring a national park in the mountains.
We did many of the same kinds of things,
like hiking, picnics, scouting for wild life,
even rode a tram up the side of a mountain.
But most of all we just enjoyed being together.

Dream Lake - the end of our hike.

Our picnic spot.

Evening drives to scout deer and elk.
No 5:30 am drives like we did on our honeymoon.

Amazing big picture views!
But the affects of the beetle are hugh.

Historic Stanley Hotel opened in 1909 by Mr Stanley of the Stanley Seamer.

Known for being the most haunted hotel. It was the sight of the movie,

The Shining.

From Estes Park  we went down to Silverthorn  from where we explored several other little town.

In Breckinridge we rode the tram to the top of the mountain 

and enjoyed a cool drink before riding down.

Another great picnic spot on the river walk in Breckinridge.

There is something about Colorado that speaks Majesty and

feels like the arms of God wrapped around me.

My great man taking a break with some bronze man in Vail.

Frisco surprised Rick as did other towns. 

Many were just a burb on the road back in the 1970's 

when he was working in the area. 

Now many are thriving tourist towns. 

We have been around the world together 

and had some great vacations and experiences.

But for now this one is my favorite. 

It was just fun and relaxing; perfect in every way.
