The rocky mountains are omnipresent, you really drive down the road from one park into the next.  They are all beautiful, I have not experienced this much jaw dropping vistas in a very long time.  Water is everywhere, either in lakes or streams, a  consequence of the snow melt and glacial retraction.  We spent hours going up and down roads saying, “wow, look at that one”.  Pictures, I am afraid, cannot do it justice.  In the two months since leaving home, we have put 9,000 miles on the car and 2,500 miles on the truck/RV.
