231) Rocky Mountain Water
After the backpacking with Will, I stayed at my friend Caitlin's house for a couple of days. She lives right in Estes Park, just a few minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park, so I was able to do some nice day hikes.
On the weekend Evan and Chris came out to Caitlin's house and then I headed to Evergreen to spend a few nights with Chris before heading up to camp. It has been really nice to see people I have not been able to see for a few years! Last night I was able to meet up with Ian and spend the night at his house and hang out with him and his wife.
These last three shots break the theme of this post, but I just wanted to get them in while I could.

230) Backing in Rocky Mountain National Park
Will and I took a nice 5 day 4 night trip into the northern end of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a really beautiful, but also a little bit harsh. The late Spring weather of the rockies slammed us with hail, snow, freezing rain, regular rain, high winds, lightning, fog and just about anything else in between.
The highlight of the trip may have been on the last few miles out on our last day. Will spotted a moose just off the side of the trail (we had seen two others a day before) and we waited quietly to see what it would do. It ended up walking up to the trail, pausing at the edge of it and looking at us, then just moving on and fading into the forest on the other side of the trail. It was a pretty cool site.
