Estes Park & Prospect Mountain (5 of 7 Entries)
I knew when I took the senic route to Ft. Collins that it would be nice to spend some time at Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. So, on Sunday, we packed a picnic lunch and headed into the mountains. Like a lot of the mountain communities, the downtown area of Estes Park has plenty of shops, as well as an attractive park through which the Big Thomson River flows.
But, before taking in the shops and park, we purchased tickets for the tram ride up to the top of Prospect Mountain. The view was great, looking down on the valley where Estes Park is located. It was also fun watching all the chipmunks scampering over the boulders.
Returning to Estes Park, we located a table near the river for lunch, while soaking up the sun and watching the mountain water flow rapidly down the twisting river. My head is full of many beautiful images, of which only a few are captured here. (See Photo Set.)
