Day 3 (May 28, 2020): Rocky Mountain National Park

Drove from Estes Park into Rocky Mountain National Park.

Trail Ridge Road headed into Rocky Mountain National Park

Wildlife abounds in the park, especially with people being absent from the park the last couple of months.

Mule Deet
Bighorn Sheep

Hiked around Bear Lake. There was hardly anyone there. It was so quiet and peaceful. There was still quite a bit of snow on the ground.

Drove Trail Ridge Road to the road closure and then biked another 3-miles up the road (open to hikers and bikers) to the complete road closure. The ride up was tough due mostly to the altitude.
