Saturday we went exploring and found in less than an hour from our rental, we are in Estes Park. Cool! It will be about the same time from our new house.
Estes Park in January is not nearly as busy as in August, the last time we were there. Though there are still plenty of tourists and shops to take the tourist dollars! And there is always the Stanley Hotel, made famous by Stephen King in The Shining. Did you notice we are both wearing sweatshirts? It was 60ยบ in Estes Park, not much cooler in RMNP. This is January! The weather has been great since we got here, except for one day of snow.
Rocky Mountain National Park is only partially open this time of year but you can still enjoy the beauty. We drove past the road to Beaver Lake as the parking lot at Beaver Lake was full, but I had another goal in mind - Many Parks Curve and its views. It is the end of the road in winter on Trail Ridge Road. They don't plow past here in the winter months.
