Rocky Mountain

A trip at Rocky Mountain National Park, interrupted by rain (a theme on our trip).  Planned on staying for a few days but got rained on and raced to Arches instead.  Super busy park and camping was really hard to come by, we lucked out just as a few folks canceled their site.  The online booking system is a free for all.

Beautiful flowers abound in the alpine environment (and lots of elk)

This is at 12005 ft of elevation! 

Managed to get a little bit of the milky way in there at about 2am.  Being by awful camping neighbors is becoming a common theme.  (Leaving a crazy amount of lights on, super loud kids, and just overall annoying yuppies) 

Got up super early to snag some parking and do the Emerald Lake Hike
