7/31/09 - Rocky Mountain National Park, CO




We drove to Rocky Mountain National Park and took the Old Fall River Road which was closed last year when we were here. This narrow dirt road was built in the 1920’s by prisoners and was the first road to cross Rocky Mountain National Park. It is now a one-way road (thank goodness) and reaches an elevation of 11,796 feet. We drove the paved road back through the park and stopped off at the Estes Park Brewery for some beers.
