Trail Ridge Road


Another view from the top later in the day.

Another view from the top.

Another view from the top.

A vie from the top after the snow melt. The highest spot on the road is
just a little over 12,000 feet.
This was the depth of the snow at this spot once the finished snow blowing over the top.
Twice my height! You can see only the top of the Alpine Visitors Center.
Trail Rodge Road is the main road through the park. It goes from the
West side (Grand Lake where we are) to the East side (Estes Park).
The road over the top does not usually open until late May because there
is too much snow and they have not finished clearing it away. This
picture shows the huge snow blower they use to clear the snow.

More snow blowing on Trail Ridge Road. This road is about 45 miles from
west to the east side and is so beautiful!

More snow blowing.
