After a night in the Sweetwater Lodge in Rock Springs that was like a room from the 80s in Vegas, we made it to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a disappointing lunch at The Forks somewhere before Fart Collins (thinking of Ry and Mason and when they called it that 8 years ago.) Elk greeted us just outside the park. Those animals are so large. We set up camp at Glacier Basin. It’s a pretty good campground. The sites are quite close together (we’re on the outside of the loop which helps) but the location can’t be beat.
We went on an afternoon hike from Bear Lake. The drive had wildflowers lining the road- white and light purple and pink. More importantly the parking lot had open spaces. We hiked Nymph, Haiyaha, Dream, and Emerald lakes. Haiyaha was new to us and had some boulder hopping and “swarms” of mosquitoes. Then on to Dream and Emerald (we were more impressed with it this time than when we were here last). Back to camp for a late dinner of chili Fritos since they are fast and easy and we were hungry.
