Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park was still open so we took the opportunity to drive
the route. The weather wasn't on our side but it proved dramatic the way it was. There was just enough
light breaking through to show some of the lower peaks. Winter arrives early in the mountains, but it
serves as a reminder that snow will be with us in a few weeks!!! This was a day after the first sign
of snow in the mountains. Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous motorway in the United States,
with more than eight miles lying above 11,000' and a maximum elevation of 12,183'.

P.S. Our friend's daughter left today, so I'm using the rest of the week to show our friend what she's seen.
