Yesterday, I flew from Tucson, Arizona and landed in Denver, Colorado. I met up with my mum at the Denver Airport and we made our way to Estes Park, Co. Estes Park is a town that sits close to the entrance of the
Rocky Mountain National Park. The elevation of Estes Park is 7,522 feet (2,293 meters). It's surrounded by mountains, aspen trees, pine trees, and lots of wildlife including grizzly bears (
yikes!) and black bears, elk, moose, deer, and lots of other critters.

Today we took a tram ride up Prospect Mountain. Prospect Mountain is approx. 8,880 feet high. We fed the chipmunks and birds peanuts at the top. We also did a hike around Lily Lake. Later, I was feeling a bit adventurous in the afternoon so I went running around Estes Lake (3.5mile loop)... I'm going to have to try it again tomorrow because I felt like I was running with half a lung! Must be the altitude.
