8:00 leaving Craig CO. Sunny with the dew burning off. Headed east to Rabbit Ears Pass (don't know about TV reception there, but the view was nice). 9,400 ft at the pass, and some fresh snow on the shoulder of the highway. Stopped in Kremming for coffee at 10:00, and the a nice canyon run along side the most upstream waters of the Colorado River into Hot Sulpher Springs. Arrived at Rocky Mountains National Park at 11:00, followed by a long and high climb to the Alpine Visitor Centre located at 11,200 ft. We did a walk to the nearby summit, placing us at 12,000 ft. The Visitor Centre, in May, was under approx. 30-40 ft of snow! Then headed westward down the mountain and to the southeast end of the Park to Bear Lake, where we did a walk around the lake. Into Estes Park by 3:00, in time for an expensive ice cream
(way to many ice cream and candy shops in town).
