One last surprise

Last bit of snow at the Summit of Alpine Pass in RMNP at 14,000 feet

Ok, so they say it snows somewhere in Colorado every month of the year but snow in July?!?  We just could not believe it until we drove through it on the way down the mountain back to Denver.  That is just how unpredictable the weather is here.  We learned an important lesson on this trip to the mountains.  #1 - It only takes about 2 hours to get into the mountains from our place in Elizabeth, so we should go more often.  #2 - While it may be 90 degrees at our house it probably is in the 70's in the mountains so when we need to get away from the heat, it is only 2 hours away!
