"I present to you...Rocky Mountain National Park!"
"I don't get it," responds Chris.
"You conquer it!"
On Saturday, we drove an hour up to Estes Park on a beautiful day. We first started our adventure with some rock scrambling at the Alluvial Fan. The Alluvial Fan is like a big ball pit, but for boulderers, not kids. Lots of fun!
Next up was a hike to the Loch on the Glacier Gorge trail system. At Alberta Falls, Beck made a new friend. Careful...they are ravenous.
The Continental Divide got a fresh layer of snow, so the scenery was unbelievable. This hike is always great, but the snow added to the awesomeness of the scene.
We are Marshall!
The Loch was gorgeous.
After stopping at the Loch for a minute, Beck commenced feeding. Nice gloves, Ace.
Timberline Falls was very cool and a great location for a snowball fight.
Me looking pretty BA.
We climbed the wet rocks adjacent to the falls and reached the Lake of Glass. Beck hung out by the water while Chris and I scrambled up the hillside for a better view.
I think we found it.
While Chris and I were climbing, Beck gave her dialogue of her advantageous situation.
Whether it was the gloves or the beef jerkey, Beck did a heck of a job hiking 10 miles.
Chris did awesome too, especially in tennis shoes.
At the end of the day, the flatlanders seemed worn out. Pizza in Estes Park never tasted this good!
