Goodbye Rocky Mountain

We woke up to another cool, but beautiful morning. After some coffee and breakfast, we drove back to the east side of the park on the same road that was fog covered on our way in. It was a beautiful drive filled with rocks, forests, and plains. We were in search of the long horned sheep that roam the park but we didn't see any. We did see a bear, a moose, and did a short hike in the tundra area at an altitude of over 12,000 ft above sea level.

We left the park and went to Garden of the Gods - fabulous red rock formations where slabs of rock seem to stand straight up. While hiking there, we saw several people rock climbing some of the formations.

We checked into the Lone Duck campground and then went to eat at a local dive bar Definitely a locals place but the pizza was good. Not so impressed with the campground.Read more
