Rocky Mountain NP, 7/15 - 7/16

After getting to Rocky Mountain Wednesday afternoon, we set up camp on
the west side of the park and then headed up to the Alpine Visitor
Center for a nice scenic drive through the alpine tundra. A very cool
place, especially considering how high the tree line is and the fact
that vegetation can survive in the tundra above.

Unfortunately, that was essentially the end of our stay in the park.
Sarah got extremely sick through the night and into Thursday, so we
packed up and drove out of the park early Thursday afternoon to see a
doctor and grab a hotel.

And to avoid any suspense, Sarah is now more than recovered as we
write this. We also have a great excuse to head back to the park some
day.
