Rocky Mountain National Park - CO

Well, this must be the trip of scarey drives.  One rim drive after another.  This was 35 miles of windy uphill to a height of 12,200 feet!! The scenery was gorgeous, right on top of the Rocky Mountains.  So high that the trees stop growing over 11,000 feet.  Why are we always on the cliff side of the road?  I could look down thousands of feet!  The pictures just don't reflect the terror properly.


The campsite was safe, well sort of safe, once we got thru the bear lesson, on how bears can open car doors, and climb through RV windows.  The ranger suggested beating pans together, that way the bear would think you were going to start cooking him something.  We were at site 190, with a view of the mountains (as usual, dry camping).
