Fall Trip to Rocky Mt Nat'l Park

It's our third fall living in Colorado and our third annual fall trip to Rocky Mt Nat'l Park.  After church on Sunday we packed the car and headed to Estes Park which was about 2 1/2 hour drive.   As we got closer to Estes Park we drove the peak to peak road (Hwy 7) so we could enjoy a picnic lunch at Lily Lake while looking at Long's Peak.  We drove on into Estes Park, checked into Crags Historic Lodge and then drove to Rocky Mt Nat'l Park to go to Bear Lake.  On our late evening trip back to the Lodge we saw several elk, deer, and wild turkeys.
