New member, just jumping in,
Just stopping in to say hi, my wife and I , being that we are empty nesters now, regularly travel to RMNP on weekends to jump on a trail, have a good hike, enjoy the vista's. Born and raised in EP, moved to plains a while ago.. its a 3.5 hour drive to EP. and same back home. its up at 3:30, out the door at 4:30, and hopefully back home by 9:00 pm. I'm a pretty lucky guy, my wife is awesome..

Welcome. Sounds like a great situation being so close to the park. What hikes have you done in the park?

well, that would be alot, my first i can remember was Mills lake i think I was on horseback with my mom. and Dad.. I do remember Chasm at age 6 with my dad.. that was hard .. I haven't done the East inlet yet.. and may try to do a Grand to Allenspark this summer if i can work it in my schedule. that would take care of that one..

I grew up in Estes Park, was in the boyscout troop up there, I also was the Explorer scout leader for a bit and went on some SAR stuff, but i am too old for that now.. Dad dragged me to a lot of his lakes...

I will try to keep up with the news of the week and planning for our next adventure..

To all.. thank you

Jeff
