Our trip continued as we set out on Trail Ridge Road, through the park. We made lots of stops. We saw a marmot sunning itself on a rock and stopped for hot chocolate at the Alpine Visitor's Center. We then went on to the Holzworth Historic Site and walked back to the cabins from a 1917 Dude Ranch. The kids dipped their toes into the headwaters of the Colorado River and then we drove to Grand Lake Village. Conner had a blast playing in the water and destroying the sand castles of the other kids. We enjoyed music provided by the Funkfest in the background, and wondered how many beaches have pine needles all over them like Grand Lake.
We then drove back through Rocky Mountain National Park and saw several nice herds of elk. We heard the elk bugling and saw some cute half grown calves. When we returned to the Visitor's Center in Estes, we saw two gorgeous bull elk on the golf course and several cows and calves.
