Made it to Rocky mountain National Park this morning and planned out a couple days along with getting my backcountry camping permit (I’ve got a campsite 2.5 miles from the trailhead with a 1000 ft elevation gain along the hike). I also scoped out several of the sights along the roads (several panoramas and a herd of elk). I also did a quick hike along the alluvial fan fan trail and found a waterfall that I’m going to head back to and photograph tomorrow. By the time I finished up it was 6pm. A quick dinner made up of ramen noodles (carbs is all I’m after really) and it was time to start the hike up the trail and set up camp. Sunset was at 8:30 and I’ll be asleep shortly.

Travel Distance: 115 miles
