Trying to use up some time between flights home and since I can now blog on the iPad, I've decided to share yesterday with you.
Did you know that time spent in the mountains is not deducted from your life?? It's really true and yesterday
we added a few hours to our total lifespan. We headed up the Peak to Peak hwy, a scenic route along the Front Range. We have done hiking up here in the past. Along the way, we happened across
This most unique carousel in Nederlands. The basic structure was rescued and restored and is an original from the early 1900's. The animals were all carved by one man over 27 years. Since my father also carved carousel animals and I have two in our home, we were impressed with the magnitude of this undertaking. Www.carouselofhappiness.org will give more information and pictures. His animals put a smile on your face andthe more you look, the more the little surprises.
We continued on to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain NP.
The elk were abundant, even in town. There is still some snow in the woods and is heavy on the peaks but it was a perfect day for strolling. We miss the mountains and need to come back .
Farewell for now to a most beautiful place.
