​Off to Colorado

In my original plan my goal was to go to Colorado and be a little off grid to start writing and reflecting on my journey. I had been trying all summer to get a camping spot in the Rocky Mountain National Park and finally landed 2 nights. Not only that, but I landed in probably the best campsite for me where I could easily bike to many of the hikes that are hard to get to because of the lack of parking and timed entry. It was fun since I remembered so much of those from when I was a kid, and our family would vacation at YMCA of the Rockies Winter Park. Of course, I don’t remember that many people from when I was a kid, so I asked a ranger and they said that is why they had to do the timed entry because it had gotten so popular that it was effecting the ecology of the area. It is understandable why people love that park, it is very accessible and amazingly beautiful! It is also one of those places where you can almost touch a glacier in places!
