Travel & Vacation: Beautiful Scenery on Our Rocky Mountain Road Trip (Colorado)

 Beautiful Colorado Rockies

Our family enjoys going to Colorado.  The scenery in the Colorado Rocky Mountains is beautiful.  If you ever get a chance to drive through the Rocky Mountains do it.  You’ll see wildlife and breath taking views.  There are a lot of places to stop to hike, eat, camp, or sight see along the way too.

These pictures are from a road trip through the Rocky Mountains I took with my Mom, brother Josh, Aunt, Uncle, cousins and  our two girls.  We had a blast going through the mountains.  Depending on where you go the roads can have a lot of twists and turns, but the views are worth it.

 Our first sight of the mountains.  We were driving to Colorado from Kansas and the girls were excited to start seeing glimpses of the mountains where we would be spending the next few days!

 Driving up to Estates Park

 They don’t call it “Rocky” Mountains for nothing…lots of cool rock formations

 Coming into Estates Park.  We stopped for a little bit to walk around, shop, and grab a bite to eat before heading on our way.

Neat statue at Estates Park

Love just soaking all the beautiful scenery in as we drive

Still heading up higher into the mountains

Lots of evergreen trees on these mountains.

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family, ways we relax, and tips on how to make trips more enjoyable.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
