Seven Days in Colorado

Elk, grazing.

Colorado is a really nice change of scenery, much unlike what I am used to in the East. Prior to this trip, the closest I've ever been to the Rocky Mountains was Las Vegas. Now, I suppose I can say I have actually been on one of these mountains, in Rocky Mountain National Park (my first American national park, I think). It was amazing. And the fact that we can go from a warm 60 degrees in Denver to really cold, and tons of snow at 10,000 feet up was cool and interesting, to say the least (pun, intended).

 And, OMG, real life elk!

There's a lot of snow outside. Two days have passed and no government truck came to plow our local street. Usually we can dump snow into the street for cars to melt, but this time we had massive piles in the backyard and in the front garden.

In the back, we dug a tunnel.
