On Monday, I woke up in the National Forest on the East side of Rocky Mountain National Park. As I mentioned before, I did not stay the night in the park as I would have to pay to do so.
I’ll try to keep this short. Trail Ridge Road runs through the entirety of Rocky Mountain National Park, and is the highest continuously paved road in the country. It runs right through the Rockies and the Continental Divide, and the highest point is at 12,183 feet. I’ve tried taking some of the better shots, (there were hundreds,) and putting them below. The first two shots are of Lily Lake, which I drove by on my way to the Park in the morning.
After I got down from the park, I was in the town of Grand Lake, with a population of about 500 people. I had a burger and went to a micro pub in town, where I had a beer with a guy who told me how I could get to the National Forest outside town. As I mentioned before, the only reliable way to find access points is to ask around.
