To the Top of the World


Crossing a snowpack on the Tundra Communities trail


This ridge was incredibly windy - a sign said hurricane force winds are not uncommon here.


I wasn't expecting this much snow in June!

 I've never been to Rocky Mountain National Park, but I was really excited to see the tundra. So my first goal was to drive as high as I could until I had to stop.

my guess is the hole is from a pentalobe shaped signpost, marking the spot where aliens landed 60 years ago.
