Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park June 28-July 2nd 2010

Dopey was my horse on the two hr. trail ride in the Rockies. She was in heat, so when the trail master saw that I had riding experience, guess what? I got to ride Dopey at the end of the line. She was the only female & was a great horse. She tested me a couple times when we had to get off the trail to let other riders come through, but when she realized I knew how to handle her, she accepted it & we continued through the park, with creeks & many beautiful views to share.
This is Spraque Lake & a hail & rain storm hit us while we were walking this 1/2 mile trail. Made for an interesting hike, and I was just thankful it was a short hike.

This female moose was lounging in a meadow near a campground as we came back down from the top of the Rockies. We observed her for a good 45 min. & got lots of great pics.

Beauty everywhere!

The valley below-coming out of the mountains. Saw alot of women on motorcycles this day. I spoke to one lady on a 3 wheeler that must have been in her 60's traveling along. She had met her son & his family in Estes Park & was heading back to Vegas on her bike, by way of the Trail Ridge in the Rockies.

Bear Lake was another cool 1/2 mile hiking lake trail. This was the most scenic of the short trails that we walked.
