Today Michael and I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. After about an hour or so drive we hit the park entrance. We drove around the park for a few hours and saw chipmonks, eagles, marmots, and woodpeckers. We drove along Trail Ridge Road until we reached ~12,000 feet and turned around as we had to make it back out so we could catch our flights. On the way out of the park we came across a traffic jam. In a National Park when there is a traffic jam it usually means there is some interesting wildlife. We pulled over to the side of the road and there were 2 bull elk grazing near a waterfall. I could have watched them for hours but unfortunately we had to head out. Michael dropped me off at Ken and Ania’s place and headed to the airport.

Ken, Ania, and I headed into Denver to “My Brother’s Bar”. We met up with Jaime, Trevor, and Mark from Syracuse. It was good to catch up. Ken and Ania took me to the airport where I found out that I was upgraded to 1st class!!

Overall it was a great trip! Thanks Ken and Ania for being such great hosts AGAIN!
