I have dreamed of becoming a forest ranger. That is, I did as a child. My family took camping trips out west to mountain country. I would watch the scenery pass me by from the front window of our truck camper. Being here brings back a flood of memories. Here it is over 30 years later. Today I sit in the front seat of a convertible next to my darling. We spent the day in Rocky Mountain National Park. It's an unbelievable sight! Words can't describe the awesomeness of this park.
The road that loops around the park goes up over 12000 feet.
The drive to the top tested my nerves. There came a point that I couldn't look over the edge of the road. There is no guard rail. I will admit that I was terrified!
We were lucky to see Elk graze on the rocky tundra at the highest elevation.
At the highest point it was cold and rainy. Then the sun shone down like a gift from God! What an experience!

It is always awe inspiring to drive through the Rockies. And I admit a bit of envy when we drive past someone's homestead in the shelter of some craggy cliff. Enjoy your vacation!
