8/11/11 Trail Ridge Road

After Alpine Visitor Center, we took the Trail Ridge Road (only open Memorial Day to Columbus Day) back to Estes Park. The road reaches a high of over 12,000 feet.

Trying out my app called "Pano" that lets you create your own panoramic photos. (You have to manually align the pics, but it merges them into one .jpg like this.) Somewhere out there is a mountain range called Never Summer Mountains and in it are Mount Cumulus, Mount Cirrus, Mount Nimbus, and Mount Stratus. Well named.

Lava Cliffs



I think this is a Clark's Nuthatch. Whatever it is, it was awfully cute and didn't mind posing for this photo.



We left the park around 5:00 and ate dinner at Village Inn. What a glorious day!
