something quite incredible happened this year in Rocky Mount National Park
the mountains moved
truly stunning video this afternoon in Rocky Mountain National Park it's it's probably one
of the craziest things I've ever seen Boulders crashing Earth moving William ondragon was near
where the rock slide happened by chaos Canyon he says he noticed part of the glacier melt at the
top of the peak it traveled West and hit a mound of rock and dirt and sent that in our Direction
This is historic Rock mall I mean that's that's a lot of a lot of Earth movement at one time no
one hurting the slide thankfully the closure is in place because the area does remain unstable
it's not every day you see such an event take place in
one of the most popular national parks in the USA
this massive land movement didn't only change the landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park
it also changed one of the many Alpine Lakes so we hiked to this Lake last winter right before
it froze and we got to see it's snow covered along the mountains and the water was still open
it's a beautiful winter hike and now we're hiking to it in fall
because it looks way different you see when the rock slide happened it transported a lot of silt
and Clay which is known as Glacier flower a result of rocks that ground together during
the rock slide and the debris ultimately landed in the lake below and is now floating on top
and curiosity struck since I live very close to Rocky Mountain National Park
it was something I had to go see with my own eyes
this is Lake haiyaha this used to be a Clear Blue Lake that you could see
trout swimming in but it's changed colors now because of the rock slide
it's a Milky blue turquoise color
this is absolutely beautiful wow there's no time frame of how long this beautiful color will last
in Lake haiyaha but if you take on this hike just know it's about four miles round trip rated
moderately difficult and it's surrounded by a boulder field so you'll be climbing over some
very large rocks to get to the lake haven't done this hike twice now I can definitely recommend
this Lake hike in Rocky Mountain National Park especially right now in its current state
all right we had such a great hike at Lake haiyaha and finally getting able to see the water is
pretty spectacular it reminded us a lot of when we went to Washington seeing Diablo Lake and that
whole area with those milky Blue Lakes they're so beautiful but we definitely worked up an appetite
so we are here in Estes Park and we are gonna go eat a post chicken and beer now we have been to
many post chicken and beer Boulder Longmont um I think for Collins they're so good and I just
realized they have one here in Estes Park and we were just here last week at the Stanley Hotel and
we did a haunted ghost tour which was such an awesome experience so they only have those from
October to December because Halloween you know that type of activity we did not get spooked by
any like ghosts or anything but it definitely is a thing it is very very much haunted so we had a
really cool time but anyways that is right next to post chicken and beer it's kind of like like
the same like areas the Stanley so when we came to the Stanley we saw they had a post here and we're
like post hike at the post chicken and beer right hun right if you come to the Stanley and or post
you have to pay 10 parking but they give you five dollars back in a coin so literally we're gonna
take this five dollars and put it towards our meal so parking's five dollars so just a heads up
cheers so I got the classic because it's so so good I got the chicken and waffles
and gravy and butter and syrup this is the OG of
post chicken and then Vince got half a bird ooh Fried Chicken yes
oh it's so good if you've never been to a post chicken and beer definitely go try one there
there's quite a few all over Colorado so um this one was great just like all the others um and now
since we already paid for parking here at the Stanley and post we're gonna go over to Stanley
again even though we were just there last Wednesday and I don't know maybe get some
dessert or something because why not and FYI I have done an entire Estus Park Vlog like one
day in Estes Park so if you're looking for things to do here definitely check out that Vlog lots of
good information in there um we didn't go to the Stanley in that Vlog because we were waiting to
do it for um Halloween for those haunted ghost tours but definitely worth checking out at any
time of the year I feel it's a really pretty Hotel Real historic definitely recommend that
too but let's go to this family I don't know if you can hear me it's loud but we got a s'mores
brownie that's made in a cast iron skillet with graham cracker and chocolate brownie
I got a sweet Moscato wine and Vince got lumpy Ridge beer and this one this Moscato wine they
have here is like the perfect dessert wine it's so good do you like your beer yeah all right foreign
that was the best idea in the world dessert and drinks at the Stanley and now we're walking in
their hedge maze if you've watched The Shining you'll see similar things because this is
where it was plotted by Stephen King so highly recommend Rocky Mountain hike food at the post
drinks and dessert at the Stanley there's a day for you guys thanks
so much for watching we'll see you guys in my next Vlog bye guys
