crazy landscape


Quick update:
We drove through Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday morning. Highest elevation was over 12,000 feet, and boy did we all feel it. Even Binbin complained of a tummy ache and tired out quickly. The views were spectacular, and the air a cool 55 degrees. A storm blew through and by lunchtime we were picnicking under the sunshine.

The afternoon was hot and dry and hot as we drove along the headwaters of the mighty Colorado River. Our evening destination, just minutes before the park closed was the campground of Colorado National Monument. Here's a photo from our hike this morning along the Canyon RIm.



We're now cleaning ourselves up in Cedar City, Utah. We're heading out to Bryce tomorrow morning. We hope you all are enjoying the summer, and we'll post again soon.
