Wild West

We just got back from a trip to the wild west visting Missy's parents. We got to go to Cheyenne for 2 nights and then we spent 2 nights in Estes Park, Colorado on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Forest. We got to see beautiful scenery and some really cool wild animals, as you'll see in our pics:

If you look closely you'll notice a big horn sheep that we saw on the roadside: And here are some coyotes.


We saw about 200 Elk on our drive through part of the national park, here was a large group just chilling out in the road.


And of course, here's the fam in our little cabin we stayed in


Here's a mule deer we also saw standing in the road
It was a nice 4 day vacation but we are very tired from the red-eye flight home. Maybe one of these days we'll visit Wyoming in the summer so we'll get to actually get out of the car and hike a little.

Awesome pictures! I spent a couple of weeks hiking in the Rockies one summer with Estes Park as a base and I really miss the area.

It's awesome that you guys had a chance to visit!
