Great pictures Mr. McNulty. I'm glad you got to see the parade.

I've hiked Longs Peak. I don't remember a town, though.

*scratching head*

That looks familiar, though.

***EDIT***

Is that Estes Park? I'm pretty sure I've been wherever that is. And it's bugging the caca doody outta me.

DSF, yes, that is Estes Park. If you climbed Longs, you were there. Estes Park is the eastern entrance to Rocky Mountain National Parks with Grand Lake at the western entrance.

Longs Peak is just South of Estes Park. If you hiked the Longs Peak trail, you actually have to go outside the National Park to get there. And yes, there are no towns near there.
(7 miles to the top and a 6,000 feet rise in elevation. Very difficult trail. I know because I've done it.

I spent a week in Estes Park with my ex and her parents. I want to return and make new memories. It really is a beautiful place. And if I remember, the beer was cold, too. Ah, funny story from brain fart. I spent my birthday in a sports bar and we were watching the Redskins take on the Denver Broncos. The Skins won the game and I was the only person in the bar wearing Maroon and Gold. Being very poopy faced, I was asked to leave by the owner. He said he would wipe out my tab if I left. After 4 half yards of beer, and the game was won, I left. Made it home safely, too.
