Well, after yesterday I didn't think I could do better but today has been absolutley fantastic. Lindsey and I went to the Rocky Mountain National Park. On the way we stopped off at a layby which was a good photo opportunity. When we were looking round we started to noticed hundreds of chipmunks.
We were so facinated by them they we so sweet. Anyway, a lady then arrived and she started to feed them, and she turned and asked us if we wanted to. She gave us some peanuts and said just to sit on the log and they will come up to us and jump on our knee. Well it was unbelievable. These chipmunks came up to us and sat on our knees and ate away. You could see the more they took the more they're little cheeks puffed out! Anyway, I half got a chipmunk before he jumped off.
After about an hour we dragged ourselves away and headed to the Rocky Mountain National Park itself. We stopped on the way at the Stanley Hotel where Stephen King stayed and got inspiration for the booked "The Shinning" and where the film with Jack Nicholson was filmed.
We then arrived at the park and headed towards Bear Lake which was supposed to be gorgeous. It was 9,475ft high and beautiful. What I didn't realise is that it would be completley frozen over and you could walk straight over it. The area was gorgeous, and I'm going to take my Mum & Dad there when they come and Yolanda when she comes!
Yes thats me in the middle of the lake. We both made snow angels which was hilarious, as my angel seemed to have rather a large bottom!!! While we were mucking about on the lake these people walked up to us and asked for my help! Bearing in mind they were in complete ski gear with skis and sticks etc, and I couldn't believe they were asking me for help a mere tourist, so I turned round to look behind. To this the whole group burst out laughing and said they only wanted to ask me to take a photo! I think they realised my shock as I was of course very English and not as prepared as they were. They took ours too and as they were locals from the area they welcomed us to Colorado.
We then went a bit further down the mountain and found another lake. We had a stroll around the lake and found a jetty which was a must for a photo, so here you can all see my new cowboy hat which I love!
Oh well it was a great day and lots more of the park to explore in the future as I got a season pass it was soooooooo gorgeous!
Again I love it here it's so pretty!
