Amarillo to Estes Park

Day 2 we began by checking out Cadillac Ranch on our way out of town.

 
 
We spray painted our names on the cars and then headed on our way to Colorado. We arrived that evening and setup just in time before it was dark. Made a trip into Estes Park for some groceries and dinner (why we chose Mexican food in Colorado is beyond me, not that great) then we were ready for bed. Our first full day we decided to drive the Trail Ridge Road through the Rocky Mountain National Park. We had driven this road a few years ago but we were in a hurry last time since we were meeting family that day, so we decided this time we would stop often and hike if we decided we wanted to.



 
We stopped for  a snowball fight, although we did not see as much snow this year due to it being late summer. We also hiked 3 trails along our drive including Alpine trail and Medicine Bow. By the time we got back into camp we were wiped out so we started a fire and turned in for the night shortly thereafter.
