July 29 & 30 High of 60 degrees in Estes Park, 103 degrees in Seattle?

It’s been a couple of lazy days here in the Colorado Rockies, very cool, overcast and occasionally rainy. But I’m not complaining, I could be in the Heat Capitol of the USA, Seattle Washington and sweating to the oldies with everyone else.

Today was tour day, we took the original road which crossed Rocky Mountain National Park, old Fall River Road, almost to Milner Summit. We crossed a 12,500 foot pass, and that altitude really makes you think about how much energy you choose to expend. A common theme in these pictures is “cloudy and cool”, please enjoy them in Seattle! Tomorrow we move on to Steamboat Springs and the weather forecast predicts it will be clear and temps into the 80’s. Sounds good to me!
