Exploring Rocky Mountain National Park is always enjoyable; however when you are showing friends around that have never seen this beautiful national park before, it is even more fun.
Friends from Louisiana were visiting us and we drove up to Rocky to spend the day. I can remember seeing Rocky for the first time about 27 years ago when we moved from Louisiana to Colorado.
As most people do, I think our Louisiana friends fell in love with this Colorado national park, so much so, they just might be back for another visit. I hope so!
Seeing a place so gorgeous, for the first time, is a memory I think we all hold dear and one we usually never forget.

We love Rocky Mountain National Park. Was there still smoke in the area?
No, we did not notice any smoke. However, what is sad is the large number of dead pine trees killed by the Pine Beetle. Viscous circle – Dry weather, stressed trees, easy fuel for the Beetles. If these dead pines catch on fire it will be horrific. Too many of them! We need rain; very hot here this week.
We have had some rain here in Ohio this week. I will send some rainy day thoughts your way. 🙂
Beautiful images, I’m glad that we found each other 🙂
