Camping in the Beautiful Colorado Mountains

Back up in the Rocky Mountains for our End of the Summer vacation. We were happy to see this bull elk sitting in the middle of his herd. It was just getting cool enough for the elk to come down out of the high country.

This is the view from our campsite. The rushing river and the sounds of the geese lulled us to sleep at night.


A nice place to read and relax by the river.

And up in the Rocky Mountain National Park, the views are spectacular. There is nothing like the beauty of the mountains. We are so glad our forefathers had the forsight to preserve this area as a National Park!

Estes Park is awesome! God's country for sure! I just wanted to comment on the super nice rig you're driving and camping in! That is totally my dream too. Now, if it could just sail also....
