rocky mountain high

This month we took a weekend trip to gorgeous Rocky Mountain National Park. And OF COURSE we listened to John Denver's greatest hits the whole time. How could you not? Jed biked up to near the summit of the longest paved continuous road in North America.

We drove to the top visitor center then hiked up to the summit at 12,000 feet. You can't tell from the pictures, but it was W-I-N-D-Y and COLD!!!
(It was so windy that Isaac futiley tried to take shelter behind this dinky sign.)
We met up with Jed's BYU colleague, Adam and family: Stephanee, Grace, Emma, and Maggie May (yes, just like both songs).

Check out the knarly way this trunk is growing!
