Grand Lake, CO and Front Range Trip 7.23.14

We were fortunate enough to get 4 days off in July. A big feat when you both work for the park service. 


Stop 1: Red Rocks Amplitheater, Morrison, CO Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden 


3 Rangers at the concert



Stop 2:  Waterwold

We had so much fun we forgot to take pictures. Highlight; the new water coaster 

Stop 3: Grand Lake, Blue Ridge Trail, and the Eastman Camp

Stop 4: Rocky Mountain National Park





Mesa Verde is only 265 miles away

Marmot : or a whistle pig


Pika, hard to tell where it is. Code name; alpine farmer




Mesa Verde needs some signs like Rocky has. The bear below had to be captured and released in a remote area. It was having too much fun knocking down hummingbird feeders.
