During our recent trip to Colorado, we set up base in Denver and arranged a few day trips.\u00a0 The day trip which took precedence in our schedule was a visit to the Rocky Mountains National Park via the Peak to Peak Highway.\u00a0 As we drove away from urban Denver, we were welcomed by snow-capped mountains, rapid creeks, and never ending pine trees.\u00a0 My husband moved from The Netherlands a year and a half ago, and he had longed for a trip on the Peak to Peak Highway for years.\u00a0 On a sunny late spring day, we were able to make the drive happen.<\/p>\n

\"Peak<\/a>
On the road: Peak to Peak Highway Colorado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our journey began in Blackhawk, a surreal town which makes you feel as if you are part of a Wild Wild West movie with its western architecture.\u00a0 The town was lined with casinos, large exuberant resorts, and tiny storefronts with shiny lights where you can try your luck as well.\u00a0 We had breakfast sandwiches at a quiet caf\u00e9 and began our drive up route 119 to Estes Park.\u00a0 For more information about the route, head to the Colorado Office of Transportation website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The drive is sensory overload for those who love nature.\u00a0 We were tempted to stop several times to take photos as the views almost look as if they come from a painting.\u00a0 We had to remind ourselves that a) we were just on a day trip, and b) the views will be more epic once we get to the Rocky Mountains.\u00a0 That being said, there was one interesting stop: Nederland, Colorado.\u00a0 My Dutch husband was fascinated with this and of course, we had to see what the town was all about.\u00a0 We stocked up on snacks for our hike at B & F Mountain Market and soon discovered that there was not much to see aside from the mountain views and random eclectic mementos.<\/p>\n

We then continued our trip to Estes Park.\u00a0 When you enter the park, note there is a $20 fee for vehicles (more information here http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/romo\/planyourvisit\/fees.htm<\/a>). Note: as a military member we get a free National Park pass. If you fall under this category, show your ID card to the ranger, and he or she will provide you with a free year pass to all US National Parks. The ranger also provided us with a detailed map of trails and points of interest.<\/p>\n

\"Peak<\/a>

As we were just there for a day trip, we drove up to Trail Ridge Road. 10 miles in, we discovered that part of the road was still closed due to weather conditions.\u00a0 Although it was late May and sunny, there was still plenty of snow on the ground.\u00a0 While the road was closed to drivers, visitors were still allowed to walk and explore.\u00a0 Tip: wear layers and trail shoes as there can be snow on the trails.\u00a0 The weather goes from warm to cold quickly, so I recommend bringing a backpack in order to carry cold weather gear like gloves, a hat, and an extra warming layer.<\/p>\n

\"Peak<\/a>

Since we were there just for the day, we decided to take a short hike near Bear Lake.\u00a0 Tip: ask the ranger for a trail map upon arrival.\u00a0 The hike was 4 miles round-trip.\u00a0 It was quite eventful as we experienced rain, hail, and sunshine all in that short hike.\u00a0 We took in the stunning views of Bear Lake and the fury of the Alberta Falls.\u00a0 Simply stunning to walk on the snow covered trails and listen to the sounds of rustling leaves, tiny waterfalls, and guest appearances by squirrels.\u00a0 There was something exquisitely peaceful about the experience.\u00a0 Nature has to be the most affordable luxury we have.\u00a0 As we left the park, we were taken by the elk roaming freely in their natural habitat.\u00a0 Every scene was more beautiful than the other.<\/p>\n

After the hike, we decided to head back to Denver as it was getting late.\u00a0 We chose a different route back, heading north.\u00a0 We stopped in a quaint town called Lyons. We loved the small town vibe of the city and its main street lined with unique shops.\u00a0 At Lyons Fork Restaurant,<\/a> we indulged in a delicious thick burger and local craft beer to recharge before heading back into the city.\u00a0 The food was great, but what we enjoyed the most was the friendly service.<\/p>\n

As travelers, sometimes we\u2019re so focused on the destination that we forget about the journey.\u00a0 The Peak to Peak Highway is an experience in itself.\u00a0 The lack of cellular reception made it inevitable to step away from our devices and into great conversations and gorgeous views.\u00a0 Although a day is not enough to experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, it was still a perfect day trip experience from Denver.
