RMNP

Today we skedaddled up to Rocky Mountain National Park.



We did the same trail that G and C-peep hiked last year during their BOYZ weekend. It's called Cub Lake and goes through a meadow, past a lake covered in lily pads, down a trail that faces the mountains, and then alongside a creek that - thanks to all our rain of late - is almost overflowing.
 



We saw a ton of elk, two snakes, (I'm like the snake whisperer. Seriously. Even on my bike. It's not fun.) a lot of hummingbirds, and a lot of tourists. When we couldn't find a parking space in multiple off-road lots, we were like, why are there so many people here?! Ohhhhhh. Because it's summer. In one of America's most popular national parks.

Duh.

The weather is so nice that G pretty easily won the battle to drive without the roof on his jeep. When he asked me if we could go topless it took me a while to figure out what he meant. I was like, what kind of girl do you think I am? 


The hike was about 5-6 miles in total and afterward we devoured some Tex Mex food in Estes Park before heading home to this one, who has been lazypants all weekend long.




Look how she cuddles with her skunk. She grooms it, too. It's hilarious.
