By this time no one is surprised that our next stop was another national park. We drove through Wyoming to our campsite in Colorado. Our campsite for our time at Rocky Mountain was Hermit Park Open Space. This was a secluded camp area run by Larimer County. Everything was clean and well kept. We had a large camp area in the bobcat campground and were very happy with the it. In fact we felt pretty at home here. This mountain range is the closest we have seen to our home range of the sierras.
Someone was feel particularly tired and crawled back into bed on the way. 
We got up early to get into the park toenjoy a day of mountain hiking. Under the advice of a ranger we decided to make our way to the Alpine Visitor Center first before it got to crowded. We are so glad we did because it got crazy by noon. We enjoyed watching the forest turn to the alpine. We stoped (and put on layers) as we went up in altitude. We hiked the Alpine Ridge Trail and although short, we had to stop to catch our breath. The high altitude was difficult for us lowlanders. We made it to the 12,005 ft elevation peak before returning to the visitor center.
After picking up some souvenirs we ate lunch before trying to leave. There was a crazy amount of people around, we heard the restroom line was 40 min long. So glad we brought our bathroom along. Getting out of the parking lot in the beast took some patience and Jen blocking traffic. Once we escaped we enjoyed the views coming back down the east side. The west side of the park was not in the plans for this trip. We made our way to Bear Lake road and parked in the shuttle parking lot. Parking is difficult around the area so the park offers free shuttles to the popular spots along the road. There are an incredible amount of trails and amazing things to see in the area. We decided to hike to Alberta Falls then to Bear Lake. We did about 2.5 miles of hikes through the forest before heading back to the RV. We saw many chipmunks and a few birds. We spotted some Elk and Mule Deer while driving but the Moose have eluded us on every trip we have been on. Guess we need to plan another trip to moose country soon. Maybe when we finally get to Canada.

Not much cutter then a chipmunk!
After our Rocky Mountain adventures we headed back to camp. It was a rainy evening but we enjoyed the distant thunder and raindrops as we ate dinner and played card games before bed.
