Rocky Mountain Holiday

The Rocky Mountains are one of our favorite places -- what a great place to visit in the summer to escape the heat and humidity.   Admittedly, we haven't seen all of the Rockies in all of the States (and Canada!), but our favorite place to visit is Estes Park, Colorado.  A great mountain town that is the Eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park.  We have visited multiple times, but this is the first for Mona's family--three generation staying in a rented cabin along the Big Thompson River for a week.  Eight of us aged 7 to 75.

As I type, I'm listening to the soothing currents of the river and all the sounds of nature.  We had a fun-filled day gathering in Denver after arriving on different flights and making the drive to Estes with stops along the way in Boulder and Lyons.  This is a picture of the Flat Irons in Boulder from Chautauqua Park.  Looking forward to a great week!
