Rocky Mountain High ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Flew into Denver on ##frontierairlines with their โ€œAll You Can Flyโ€ pass, which honestly is an awesome deal. After the initial investment of $300 to fly anywhere they do for a period of five months, and each flight only pay the taxes which is about $15 got to the airport and the ##hertz attendant was super helpful, suggested we go with the mystery car rental and gave us a Jeep Gladiator :) We were able to rent all of our camping equipment at a nearby outfitter, which was affordable, and the equipment was quality. Drove to ##rockymountainnationalpark and spent several days in the mountains, which was an amazing experience. The elk were definitely out and about an active while we were there, which was really cool to see. Theyโ€™re huge, the scenery is majestic and amazing and I would highly recommend anybody getting a chance to go and spend some time at Rocky Mountain national Park to do so. The ecosystems that youโ€™ll see at different elevations are really interesting to be able to see. After a drive to the top youโ€™ll be in the tundra after driving through Evergreen, force and scenic backdrops for miles. Temperature changed about 20ยฐ from a short drive at at the top to our campsite which was crazy. The park rangers were very helpful and nice, campsites well taken care of, and good vibes amongst everybody there. Last day we spent some time in a serene little town called ##grandlake at the foothills of the Rockies right outside the national Park. A scenic, sleepy little town with character and charm. Definitely make a stop through. If you get a chance between the flight, the rentals, and our stay in the national park, were able to do an amazing trip, but also on the cheap, which was definitely a bonus. Canโ€™t wait to go back and scratch some othernational parks off my list as well. Highly recommended advance reservations as spots do fill up quickly in the park. Campsites have clean bathrooms, and are all very well-maintained. If youโ€™re in the ##denver area, definitely something you should consider checking out. Definitely wonโ€™t regret it. #familyfun
