July 15: Trail Ridge Road to Alpine Visitor Center

Starting out on our adventure to drive to over 12,000 feet!

Tom has to enjoy the scenery now; pretty soon it's going to be complete focus on the road.

On our first hike to the Colorado River.

Moose tracks on the path to the river.

Sophie and Papa throwing rocks in the river.

A look down at the mighty Colorado...no canyons here.

Ooh, a moose!  Didn't see that when we looked down the river.

View out at the Never Summer Mountains with the Colorado River winding at the base.

Max looking for a sign to read.

Valley views.

The clouds coming down.

The rolling clouds/fog added a little something to this already spectacular drive.

Mountain vistas.

Where'd the road go??

Sweet treat from Daddy.

Hike up the peak outside of Alpine Visitor Center.

A look out across the tundra...beautiful park!

We're on top of the world!

Lots of similar pics but I just loved this park.

Preview of the road we're about to take.
