Drive to Rocky Mountain and Day 1


The last leg of Kansas and the majority of Colorado was pretty flat, but all of a sudden we saw the mountains in the distance.


The road leading up to the park wound around in a pretty deep canyon


Eventually we got to Rocky Mountain National Park. We made some pb and honey, and set up the tent.




We hiked up to cub lake while it began to rain steadily for 3 hours of our 3 hour hike. It was a good warmup for the days to come, but we did get soaked (good reason to start a fire)


We managed to dry off (mostly) before heading to bed, but were still pretty cold the first night... but we were ready for the next day's summit hike.
