Rocky Mountain National Park
On the final day of our trip, we made a game time decision to go to Rocky Mountain National Park. It honestly wasn't on my radar on when I booked the trip - however, after having multiple people ask "Ooh, are you going to the national park?" I decided to give it some more thought. Problem is...since COVID, you have to get a day pass well in advance in order to gain entry into the park. Of course, I missed that deadline. Sold Out! I saw on the website that they do open up additional tickets after 5pm on the day prior. Well, our day prior was our less than ideal horseback riding trip in Estes Park... It was a tough pill to swallow to consider driving all the way back to Estes Park - and then some - for another day of "family fun" in the park. Tickets opened up, I logged in quickly enough to have access to a ticket, and decided to test our luck and get one... So... my observation... people aren't talking about Rocky Mountain National Park enough. It. Is.
