So we are very big on catching all the free days for Rocky Mountain National Park. This is our second time up this year!! The park is beautiful and I love getting up there to see all the wildlife and natural beauty. This time of year the fall colors are unbelievable and we hit it right at the pefect time as the colors were all on display! My only disapointment this time was that I was really looking forward to seeing my new favorite animal, the moose! We even went in the back entrance of the park were the moose have been seen alot in the last couple of weeks! Guess what, no moose:( Maybe next time they will be out! We did get to see lots of elk, it is their rutting season (as I like to call it the season of elk love:) We sat out by the road and got to listen to all the males calling to their lady friends! So cool! Check out some of the pictures from the day!
On the way to Winter Park. Check out the yellow colors!
In Winter Park we stopped at a local brewery for lunch, needless to say the fact that they had a football theme was perfect for someone!:)
