On our way home from Granby, we opted to take the scenic route through Rocky Mountain National Park and it was a great decision! Not only did we get to see some moose establishing a pecking order,

 

but Trail Ridge Road was cleared! Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous highway in the continental US, and takes up to over 12,000-feet in elevation. CDOT tries to have the road cleared by Memorial Day, annually, and often it still closes at night due to runoff icing. This is not a road you want to slip and slide around turns! But the views at the top are spectacular! And how often does one have the opportunity to stand next to a 10-foot plus wall of snow?
