Estes Park Aerial Tramway

Estes Park, CO

June 2014

 

 

We saw a tram (Estes Park Aerial Tramway). Both girls love tram rides.We rode the tram to the top of a mountain to enjoy the views and a quick snack. It turned cold and rainy. We rode the tram back down. Kind of uneventful by our usual standards.

I would like to add that the tram ride and the mountain top were very accessible. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. However, we found the parking lot to the ticket counter and then back to the parking lot to the disabled entrance to the tram a doable struggle.

Me: No.

Me: No.

The Lady Bird Johnson Grove

 Redwood National Park

 

July 2014

 

 

 

Many of the remaining redwood groves are protected in the jointly managed Redwood National and State Parks. It can be confusing at times because you don't always know if you're in a state or national park. The first time that we were positive that we were in the national park was when we hiked through the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. We found the trail absolutely perfect. It was wide, free of rocks and roots with some up and downs to make it a little challenging.

Trail Ridge Road

Rocky Mountain National Park

June 2014

 

 

We drove Trail Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitor Center so the girls could turn in their "homework" and become Junior Park Rangers in Rocky Mountain National Park. Laurel worked very hard on doing her work herself. She completed the 7-9 year old program. We also found time to enjoy some snow in June. Unfortunately, Kellisa was very uncomfortable because her glasses broke and she had a hard time seeing without her prescription sunglasses. She even had a hard time opening her eyes in the sunlight.
