Sky High

A few weeks ago we all headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park, to do a little fishing. As with most all day activities, we have to designate a little nap time for the ladies. So Chiki and I decided to go on a drive up Trail Ridge Road. For all you adventurous people out there, even this drive made Chiki's stomach a little uneasy. The road is only open 3 months out of the year because the weather can switch in a heartbeat up that high.

After many switchbacks, at times seeing nothing but a drop off on each side of the road, and dodging animals ... you reach the highest point which is 12,466 ft. By the time you reach the viewing area, you are so freaked out to look at the scenery because you know that you are going to have to drive back down.

It really was worth all of the anxiety and the loss of breath, because out of all the places we visited that day ... the top is where we saw all of the animals!

You can't tell but the road drops off after the rocks. That is what most of the road was like.

It really was pretty. Pictures don't do it justice.

These guys were hopping around all over the place at the top

Isn't nature great!
