well hello from a overlook a scenic overlook here just outside of estes park which is
just outside of rocky mountain national park i'm here with my co-pilot martina
and we are getting ready for a couple of days in rocky mountain national park
welcome to rocky mountain national park we made it we are at sprague lake this is our first stop
of the trip we're probably not going to do too much today as far as sightseeing
or hiking this will be probably the only hiking that we do we got in late so i think
we're gonna head back to camp and make an awesome dinner martinez the cook tonight she's the chef
really excited about what she's gonna make but in the meantime we're gonna enjoy this beautiful lake
we were lucky enough to score camping at the last minute and that's key because while we're camping
at the marine campground we are allowed access to bear lake road which is the most popular
road here in the park you have to have a permit for the road because it leads to some of the most
popular hikes so we're all set to get in to do some awesome hiking tomorrow but we do have to
get up bright and early so we're going to enjoy this beautiful hike and then head back to camp
so
after a gorgeous hike we head to our site at the marine campground
and got ready to cook up some foil packet dinners
the clouds have come in it looks like it could potentially rain so hopefully our
dinner will be done before then we are just going to relax here at camp by this beautiful campfire
and get ready for an awesome hike in the morning
are you talking about
all right so now we'll do a little bit of everything wow this is i probably
well i hope you're gonna get it this might you may never close this right
we made it to the bear lake parking lot good morning i'm relieved that we are here
at the trailhead there was actually a really big thunderstorm cell that moved over this morning at
4am the thundercrash was so huge i felt bad for martinez she was out on her tent i was
worried about her out there but she was fine anyhow i think that kept people from showing up
too early so we have a parking space and we are just getting ready to head out on the trail we
made some coffee when we got here to the parking lot uh which is a must
and just drinking that up and then gonna hit the trail it's chilly it's windy but
it's cleared up quite a bit the sun's out and i think it's gonna be a beautiful day
the plan for the morning was to hike to both dream lake and emerald lake
i love that
we're stopping here at dream lake for a little snack and i'm really surprised that
all the clouds cleared out it's a bluebird day uh it's pretty amazing considering at 4 00 a.m
there was a huge thunderstorm but i'm thankful that it has cleared it's just stunning here
we are done with our hike it was incredibly beautiful and now we're getting ready to see
some mind-blowing views of the rockies via the trail ridge road covering the 48 miles between
estes park on the park's east side and grand lake on the west trail ridge road more than
lives up to its advanced building trail ridge road offers visitors thrilling views wildlife
sightings and spectacular alpine wildflower exhibitions all from the comfort of their car
for lunch we are heating up our leftover foil dinner roadside with an amazing view
so
you
