A Weekend in the Mountains


After a morning in Denver at the Gold Crown with USA Basketball hosting a coaching academy, Don and I took off for Estes Park for a weekend in the mountains.  We took I-70 west out of Denver and then north on the "Peak to Peak" drive up to Estes Park.  We stayed at a cute cabin at Wildwood Cabins near the entry of Rocky Mountain National Park. 

On the Peak to Peak drive to Estes Park

The aspen trees were beautiful this weekend.

Lunch on the way.

We walked around Lily Lake

We spent most of Sunday driving/hiking/exploring Rocky Mt. National Park.


Elk sighting!

It got so close that we backed away and up to the road.

There were several females around too.
Lunch time


We were over two miles above sea level at this point.

Another elk sighting at this high altitude.
