Estes Park Day 1
I will try to post at least one pic or a little blog about what we are doing each day here in E.P. First of all, our condo is absolutely awesome! It is spacious and there are lots of amenities which is really nice. My parents, sister, Mary, and brother, Daniel met us here yesterday. They were unloading their suitcases and items as we were driving up, around 3:30 p.m. We relaxed last night and enjoyed the hot tub and some drinks.
Today we went up in the the Ario Tram and it was really neat. We rode up in this cable car 1100 feet up to the top of the mountain. The ride took about 5 minutes and yes, it was literally moving up the mountain on a steel cable. Once we made it to the top, we walked around the top and took in the view. Then we discovered a pathway to walk around behind the sidewalks on the actual mountain. There's a gift shop up top and my dad bought a bag of peanuts and then we walked around, snapped a bunch of photos, and fed the thousands of chipmunks that came out of their dens to eat the nuts. They are so brave that they'll come right up to you when you're kneeling down and take the peanut right out of your hand. :) Brynn and Baylen REALLY enjoyed feeding the chipmunks.
Aftewards, we drove over to Trout Haven and Brynn and Papa had some fun fishing. More on that tomorrow.
