So for my birthday treat I got another surprise. A trip to Denver Colorado to see the Rocky Mountains.
Boulder
We flew to Denver airport then took a short drive to a town called Boulder. http://bouldercolorado.gov/ The town is home to the University of Colorado so its a young vibrant town with tons of great places to eat and drink as well as awesome scenery. It was also tulip festival so lots of pretty flower beds!
We stayed at the Hotel Boulderado (cool name eh?) http://www.boulderado.com/ and spent the first day on a car ride through the mountains to Estes National Park. http://www.estes-park.com/ This was amazing, including the weather which was freezing fog at 15 foot visibility, with some great views of the mountains when you could see them!
I saw loads of cool new wildlife. This is not a passion that Jayme shares so she thought I was mad when photographing birds, flowers, animals, trees and mountains!
We were also privy to some slightly worrying road signs such as 'In event of flash flood climb to safety' although as this was followed by 'Beware Rock Falls' I'm not sure whether drowning or dying in a rock fall was the lesser of two evils!
OK so some photos of:
- Jayme and Tom in front of Boulder Falls
- Boulder Falls Ravine
- Visibility (Or lack thereof) while driving
- Estes National Park Sign
- Boulder Tulips
