Colorado-On Top of the World in our Rental Car

Thursday, July24th, 2008
We most definitely keep on trekking in our new little Chevy Cobalt rental. We made it up into the Rocky Mountain National Park a day late, but we could not miss this magical land. We drove up above the treeline on the nation's highest highway, also known as Trail Ridge Road. We pulled over to explore the apline meadows and play in the glacial snows at 12,600 feet above sea level.





Alyssa the brave one, standing at a safe distance from the Elk grazing in the apline meadow, while every one else stayed in the car. She is actually standing on the side of the road with dozens of other tourists standing by in awe. It was quite a spectical.


I was captivated by the beautiful miniture bunches of wild flowers that are able to bloom in this harsh environment.
