Rocky Mountain National Park - Day 2
Our second day in the park where the weather was sunny and nothing like the previous day. This time we headed to the Bear Creek Lake trail entrance and hiked up to Emerald Lake. The following are pictures from our hike:

Estes Park - Day 2
We awoke in our condo (as mentioned earlier), to the sound of a chirping marmot. He was heading to the lower balcony to bask in the sun as you can see here (the river is roughly 30 meters away):
Here is a short video (31 seconds, 61MB, right-click to save and download) of the crazy critter chirping.
Rocky Mountain National Park - Day 1
We arrived in Estes Park just before lunch, ate, and then continued on to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We ended up going through the gate near the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. From there, we headed up the Old Fall River Road which is a narrow, one-way, dirt road (not for the faint of heart). Unfortunately, the weather took a turn for the worse as a heavy thunderstorm rolled in. By the time we reached the Alpine Visitor Center, it was sleeting. The Trail Ridge Road, which is paved, is how we looped back out of the park to the exit near the Moraine Park Visitor Center. We probably would have attempted more hiking if the weather wasn’t so wet but getting a partial scan of the park from the car was interesting at least (despite the pictures, below, being rather gloomy).

Colorado College Campus Branch Sculpture
My mom flew into the Colorado Springs Airport to spend some time with us and meet Ein for the first time (although he’s much bigger now). Upon arrival we took her to eat at Wooglins and then take a quick tour of the Colorado College campus branch sculptures before heading to our place. The following are few shots via the iPhone 4:
