Well, she wanted to see Estes so we headed up there, walked the main drag and then went to Estes Park Brewery for some food and brews. Both were great! We then headed to RMNP but found out there that Trail Ridge Road was closed due to icing. We turned back and took 7 to 72 through Nederland and BlackHawk to 70 and back.

It seemed that a lot of the leaves in that area had already been blown off the trees by two days of high winds. It was still a great route and still very beautiful. Thanks again, all!
