8-19-19 - (Day 26 - Another Day at Rocky Mountain National Park)

We took another ride into Rocky Mountain National Park.  We saw a moose laying down in the woods right after we entered the park.  It was another beautiful day with beautiful scenery.

We stopped at the Medicine Bow pullout and saw 3 more moose near the creek.

We thought on a Monday there would not be as many people in the park, we thought wrong.  But, we were able to get into the parking area at The Alpine Visitor Center and had our on special parking for Amber.  We saw elk resting on the mountain side.

We hiked up the 209 foot elevation gain on the Alpine Ridge Trail.  We took our time, taking lots of pictures, and catching our breath.

We made a few more stops, then had lunch in a picnic area that only had 2 tables above the creek.  It was a very quiet area away from the crowds.  We had a couple of Canada Jays come visit wanting a handout.

We hiked the 1 mile round trip to the Holzwarth Historic Site.  We didn't realize that we would actually be touring cabins, shops, etc.

We had a couple more hikes planned, but it was late afternoon and time to head back to camp.

We sat around and relaxed by the lake until time for bed.
