Rocky Mtn. High Colorado

 A few weeks ago we spent a Saturday at Rocky Mtn. National Park. Turns out it is only a 2 hour drive from us and worth every minute. It was so beautiful up there!

 We went up there with some good friends from our ward and had a picnic lunch while enjoying all the open space. I think most the time we all just felt like we were on top of the world! 


 What a surprise when we got to see Justin Beaver...AKA: a beaver we named Justin! 
 We did a few kid friendly hikes that were a blast. The boys loved that there was still snow to hike on! It was such a fun day and amazingly beautiful. 

 Before we headed home we stopped in Estes Park for dinner. The kids thought they were so cool because they got to sit on their own table! 
We also grabbed a quick picture of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Do you recognize it? It's the hotel used in the movie 'Dumb & Dumber' and was the inspiration for 'The Shining'.
