We left Golden and drove to Rocky Mountain National Park, just west of Estes Park. We stayed 4 days at the park and were without internet access and only had sporadic cell phone service. All of the RV sites have no connections for electricity, water, or sewer, so we boondocked it. We drove on all the park roads and did several hikes. The trail ridge road to Alpine Visitors Center was very steep with sheer dropoffs. It is supposed to be the highest paved highway in the U.S. We saw a lot of wildlife including elk, deer, moose, marmots, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and picas. The scenery is magnificent. The park gets as many visitors as Yellowstone, but is only 1/6 the size. Mornings started out cloudless, but clouds built up and there were brief thundershowers every afternoon. The scenery was gorgeous - we took hundreds of pictures.
