Today is our last day enjoying the Rockies and the Estes Park area - we decided to take a short hike in the morning, so we could enjoy the shops in the afternoon.
Our hike was a short one - just a 3 1/2 miler to/around/back from Bierstadt Lake. It was much colder this morning - when we started it was 50-degrees and overcast.....brrrr!! The hike was interesting if only because we were hiking on the "other" side of the park from Day 1, and so we saw different views.
The lake was nice -
The wildflowers were starting to open as we were hiking out.......
On the drive back to town, as saw this guy......
Today's elevation was a bit higher than yesterday's hotel room elevation, but much lower than our previous hikes in the Rocky Mountains.
We walked around town for a couple hours after our hike - enjoyed some ice cream and the shops. Overall this was a great five days - even the rainy one!
