More Trail Ridge-September 4, 2013

We took the Cute Red Vehicle to the dealership today knowing that whatever made it ill was under warranty. They told us an hour to go through it. We had no sooner sat down in the customer lounge than the service writer came in and said that the rear dome light had been left on and he turned it off so all is well. We remembered how it might have happened though the perpetrator of the crime is reluctant to confess and it must have been left on last Saturday night. It took it a long time to drain the battery. It is charged and we are up and running fine. We have taped the dome light in the automatic position so hopefully it will not get left on again. What a relief!

Now for a few more pictures from Trail Ridge.

This is at the entrance to the Big Thompson Canyon which leads to Estes Park which leads to Rocky Mountain National Park which leads to Trail Ridge Road. Confused?

 

All the layers of mountains are fascinating.

 

See the pointed mountain spire? The point means it is younger

than the smoother round mountains. That's fascinating to me, too.

 

This is where we had our picnic. Great view.

 

At the summit, little Miss Hannah needed a snack. She is frowning

because of the bright sunshine, not the food!

 

Ok, I won't bore you with any more pictures. It was really pretty. We have not been up that far in a number of years so we really had a great time.
