Rocky Mountain National Park
Located in the heart of The Rocky Mountains this crown jewel of national parks is surrounded by 12,000 to 14,000 foot peaks. Wildlife, alpine tundra, wild flowers and majestic valleys make this park a special place for those who come to visit in the summer months. We stayed at Moraine Park campground with a beautiful view of Long's Peak the highest mountain in the park at just over 14,000 feet

Our dear friend from Florida Jim Pearson drove out to join us during our stay at Rocky Mountain National Park. During our stay at the park we took a drive on the Peak to Peak Highway over to Nederland, Colorado from Estes Park, Colorado. All along the way we marveled at the great mountain scenery all around us pass through small mountain towns along the way.

The The Carousel of Happiness is a special ride which is all enclosed and has animals carved by a Vietnam Vet over the years that he did to commemorate his fellow soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. What a wonderful place to stop and smell the wild flowers that populate this area.
