My road Trip '09

[killersheep]

Vail, CO
elevation: 10,500 ft.

Playground of the rich, crazy place. I felt really out of place there. A bean burrito was $20. The rooms to stay there were a bargain at $500 a night because it's offseason. Beautiful area though. Vail Village is not accessable by car and you have to walk through it.

Frisco, CO
elevation: 9,000 ft.

Another amazing spot, we decided to camp here alongside the serene Dillon Lake.

Estes Park, CO
elevation 7,500 ft.

The last town before you enter Rocky Mountain National Park. Home to the Stanley Hotel (where Stephen King wrote the Shining), which doesn't exactly look creepy during the day in the summer.

Looks like it was a lot of fun Killer. I loved the pics of the Rockies National Park (I think that's what it's called) you posted on Facebook.

I really want to go there now.

I really enjoyed looking at those photos, some really fantastic scenery there.

I would love to get out there one day and see it all for myself.

Have you been to Banff? It's in heavy consideration for us next year.

Yeah, I was in Banff when I was 19 or so. I went along with some friends on a road trip to Alberta and we stopped there. It's a bit ritzy, but Lake Louise was absolutely stunning. If you're into nature etc and you're coming to Canada, you should consider taking a trip to the west side of Vancouver Island if you're coming anywhere near here. I've never seen anything quite like it.

If we do the Northwest trip next year, we will be doing Seattle, Vancouver, Banff, Calgary, Glacier Park, Missoula

If we do the Southwest trip we will do Las Vegas, Great Basin Park, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff.

So if we do end up heading to your neck of the woods, I will try to hit up Victoria and get a tour from ya. It really depends on how we are doing financially.

Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
Elevation: 11,000 ft. at the highest we went.

Simply amazing worth the trip no matter where you are in the world.

Cheyenne, WY
elevation: 6,000 ft.

As you head north on the I-25, you can see the snow capped peaks fade away in the rear view mirror and give way to endless rolling green plains.
We jump on the highway west bound and went to a tiny national park.
