I am back from my Virginia/Maryland vacation. My first stop after arriving in Denver was to
go to Rocky Mountain National Park just west of Denver. I did one hike there (the Colorado River
Trail) and drove through the park on the Trail Ridge Road. The Colorado River starts somewhere in the
Rockies in the National Park but there are so many tributaries that come
together the actual source for the river has not been identified. On the drive I saw deer and a huge
moose. I had no idea that an adult moose
is quite large. Here are some pics from
my hike and the moose.

At the end of the park I hiked a short trail to
Adams Falls
Here is Lake Granby in the Arapaho National
Forest
After one night in Kremmling, CO (a tiny town
with nothing to speak of) I drove to Grand Junction, CO the next day and
played golf at the Chipeta Golf Course.
This was a very nice course with great views. There were no par 5’s and I shot a 71 (on a
par 59 course).
That is it for Colorado. For the next post, it is on to Moab, Utah.
