We stopped for a brief walk out to a look out - we had to walk thru the snow and still had our jandals on..... we did get some crazy looks but had to laugh when we dropped into the snow up to our knees!
Next stop - nearly at the top, even the car was feeling the altitude...

They call this the 'Highway to the Sky' as the Trail Ridge Road is the highest paved road in North America and opened this year on Memorial Day (about 2 weeks ago).

Amazing scenery and wildlife - we saw Marmots, Pika, Coyote as well as the usual suspects.
