Trail Ridge Road, soaring up to an elevation of 12,183 feet, is 48 miles long and connects Grand Lake with Estes Park, the region known as Rocky Mountain National Park.
Rocky Mountain National Park's highest elevation provides scenic mountain grandeur to all who travel this mountain highway.
Yankee Boy Basin, near Ouray, Colorado is one of my favorite destinations. Here, the sun peeks through the clouds for a moment to lighten the lush green mountainside, with Sneffels Creek meandering below.
