Rocky Mountain National Park

We left the campground at the west end of  Rocky Mt. Park and after checking in at the visitor center. We drove 45 miles of some of the craziest driving on this trip. Lots of switchbacks and the road at the top was well above the tree line and had no posts along the side. So, there is nothing to stop a vehicle whether it be a car or a bike from plunging several thousand feet. It was 38 degrees at the top. The highest pass was 12,323 ft. a new record for us. Also is forgot to mention it was very windy up there too. In spite of all this, the scenery was magnificent. We then drove to Loveland , CO where we found a campground for the night. I need to get the oil changed on the motorhome, and Loveland has one of the few Mercedes Benz dealerships on our route. Then we head for Saratoga, WY and a hot spring.
