Estes Park

This past weekend Josh and I spent some time in Estes Park. We stayed at a cabin at Covenant Heights -a camp that Josh uses for youth group retreats. We had a small 2 bedroom cabin off by ourselves, a bathroom, microwave, sink etc. This camp is great and has a ropes course, fishing lake, wonderful food, a beautiful new chapel, and we found out they even have camp sites.

There is a family that owns and runs the camps. I am curious to know how the whole thing runs but basically it is a couple, their kids and the spouses, and some other hired staff. Josh and I would love to run a camp like this someday.

We spend the days in RMNP, Estes and Grand Lake. Friday the weather was cool and rainy. There were clous covering all the valleys so all you could see was the peaks. Saturday we were able to drive up a dirt road to the top of the park that we had never been on before. The weather was cool and starting to feel like fall. The aspen leaves haven't started changing yet - that is one of the only things that could have made it better.

Enjoy the pictures!
Sunset over Lily Lake - this does not do it justice at all!

The Road we drove up - it is one way going up only - there is no way you could drive down it!
