Annette here. Yesterday we went to Rocky Mountain National Park. Since it was my suggestion, I am writing the blog entry for it. It was a beautiful park with stunning scenery especially with the fall foliage and we also had a surprise snowfall. Yes, you heard correctly, it snowed several times throughout the day. We had originally wanted to drive the Trail Pass Road, which goes across the park and maxes out at around 12000ft elevation, but because of the snow, we were only able to go part way. It was cold up there!!
Afterwards, we decided to drive around the other existing roads viewing the scenery and then headed towards the 3 lakes trail recommended by my awesome cousin, Chris. The hike was exhausting because it was a one way up hill of nearly 2 miles. The high altitude, around 9500 ft to 10000 ft really wiped us out. But in the end, it was well worth it. The scenery was beautiful, which I think I mentioned already and then after we reached the last lake on the trail, it started snowing again. I was glad it was snow instead of rain. We were also glad that the hike back was all downhill. Since words can't do it justice, more pictures are below.

Your pictures are really beautiful! Hope to see them all in the future (with captions,please!). Enjoy your ride home and don't forget to call us.
So sorry, I really don't remember it being all uphill! I think I was so worried about tripping over rocks that I didn't notice the steepness! Glad you enjoyed it though!
