What a treasure!  I can&#8217;t begin to describe the majesty of the mountains.

Quite a few of the areas had opened today.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure most Americans don&#8217;t know what a marvelous country we have.   I know until this trip, John and I would could never have understood what treasures abound.  We&#8217;re in awe.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the views we enjoyed today:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dulcimers.com\/sharonsblog\/rmnp3.jpg\" alt=\"Rocky Mountain National Park\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dulcimers.com\/sharonsblog\/rmnp1.jpg\" alt=\"Rocky Mountain National Park\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we plan to return for the rest of the national park.  We met a really nice hostess at the Fall Creek Visitors&#8217; Center.  Her name is Linda.  She gave us wonderful advice that included coming back tomorrow and bringing a picnic lunch.  So that&#8217;s what we will do.  We want to see the more southerly loop of the east side of the park.  Her advice and directions worked perfectly today, so we&#8217;re prepared for another great day tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was flawless.  We had temperatures that were in the mid-60&#8217;s with low wind and lots of sun.  We couldn&#8217;t have asked for anything better.  Tomorrow we&#8217;ll bring along boots and gloves, since we&#8217;ll be in the snow area and we want to take a gentle hike.  It&#8217;s sure pretty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After lunch, we headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. What a treasure!
