Our home base was the Niwot Inn, in the small town of Niwot, about 15 minutes from Boulder. We did a variety of fun things, including watching the CU production of West Side Story, listening to the CU marching band at the homecoming pep rally on Pearl Street Mall, touring the Celestial Seasoning factory, shopping for clothes (new boots!), lunching with a friend of Janice's, and eating some excellent Italian food with my sister-in-law, Dawn, and our friend Lotus. And of course we talked and talked and had a great yearly check-in with each other.
One day we went up to Rocky Mountain National Park to find elk. We drove all over the beautiful park and never did see any of these amazing animals. But as we headed out of the park and into the gateway town of Estes Park we found three large herds! They were very interesting to watch.
How'd you like to come home and find all these elk looking in your windows?
Still photos don't capture the majesty of these beasts, so you may enjoy these three short videos.
Seeing these amazing elk made a great visit even more memorable.
Those Elk photos are fantastic. I'm surprised how close they got to homes!
