| Colorado-Vail
to Rocky Mountain National Park & Estes Park
It's Sunday, and today our travels take us
from Vail along Interstate 70 to the old mining town of Georgetown then
north on Colorado 40, to another crossing of the Continental Divide at
Berthoud Pass at 11,315 feet above sea level. Continuing north to
Granby and Colorado 34, we enter Rocky Mountain National Park at Grand
Lake. Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous road in the United
States, crosses the Continental Divide and reaches a height of 12,183 at
the Alpine Center in the park. Continuing on Trail Ridge Road we
find River Song Bed and Breakfast in Estes Park, adjacent to Rocky Mountain
National Park for our final three nights in Colorado. |
