Today was a high mountain sightseeing day.  The Rocky Mountain National Park is a spectacular mountain park.  Over 10 miles of the Trail Ridge Road was above timber line with majestic views of glacier action in the valleys...mountain lakes also above timerline, and incredible visitas in every direction.  Put Trail Ridge Road n your  bucket lists for multiple trips!
