I love Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in the summer. The summer weather at altitudes ranging from 7,000 to 12,000 ft. varies from warm to quite cool. These are the altitudes I have access to by road and trail when I am there in summer since I'm not a mountain climber. The highest elevation in the park is 14,256 at the summit of Long's Peak. The park in the winter is like a different world. There is almost always more snow in the park than you will see in Estes Park. This day was particularly beautiful with a clear sky. Yes, it was cold--the temperatures were probably in the high twenties, which actually doesn't feel too bad as a result of the sun and reflective qualities of the snow. I loved it.
