So today was our day off from training and it was a blast! Some new friends and I went to Rocky Mountain National Park and it was one of the coolest sights I have ever seen. The mountains are indescribable. We drove to the top (12,000 ft.) and the weather changed several times throughout the entire trip. There was sun, rain and even a small snowstorm. It was cool to change climate and scenery every five minutes. At the top there were snow caps and back down to the bottom there were beautiful streams and grassy fields full of elk. (which i luckily got rather close to...and more luckily didn't get charged at!)
After that we made our way back to Estes Park grabbing dinner. I had an elk burger hahaha it was so good! I then met up with some other friends and we saw the movie UP (i recommend it. it's funny.) It was a nice break from the 12 hour days of training. Tomorrow is church with everyone and then a picnic by the big lake in Loveland followed by some homework, but everything is going so great, I am so excited and thankful for God leading me into this opportunity.
It sounds amazing already. I'm jealous. I can't wait to hear what God is going to do in and through.
ReplyDeletecool! how have you adjusted to that mountain altitude?? Last year when I visited Keystone Resort I had the same reaction to the Rockies - they are SOOOO BIG!!! There was even snow on the mountaintops in July!
ReplyDeleteThanks for setting this up and I look forward to following your adventures this summer!
Love you my braveheart niece! - trace
