Here we are at 11716ft at the peak of the Rocky Park. The car had to work hard to get us up here.

Today it was off into the Rocky Mountain National Park and the weather played its part. The road was a lot slower and narrower than we have had the past two weeks but the scenery certainly made up for it. From the colours of all the trees coming into spring to young calves jumping around on the Wyoming plains. We passed lots of Prairie dogs crossing over the roads throughout todays drive and they are just like meerkats just not very road smart. We must have passed a hundred or so road kills just in the morning section up to the Rocky National State park.







Above are views of the valley below in the park with Elk and Moose which we were lucky enough to see. There are lots of hiking trails and we hope to complete a few in the near future.


Behind me there is a frozen lake which should thaw out in the next month or so. This area also marks the continental divide which seperates all the rivers which flow east or west in the US.
