We entered the park through the entrance at Estes Park, which is a quintessential mountain town. From there we checked in at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, which is the one that is open year-round. Then we found a spot to eat our lunch. From there we headed south on the Bear Lake Road, stopping along the way to see the scenery. Yes, it was cold that day, so we didn't do a whole lot of exploring outside of the van. We did, however, stop off at Sprague Lake and take the hike around it. This is one of the glacial lakes in the park, and very beautiful.
We headed back to Colorado Springs that same evening. We only barely touched on what Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer, and we hope to go back some day in the future... when the weather is warmer.
