Day 3 - Another Hike



This time we're heading to Bridal Veil Falls which is quite near the cottage. Very limited parking so we had to wait for a space, the high rainfall is great for the waterfalls but it means that everyone is out going for hikes. This was going to be a shorter hike but it turns out that we have further to go today, about 6 and a bit miles total with another decent elevation. Really pretty trail, lots of alpine flowers and meadows.


Discovered Clif Bars on this walk -mmm, Clif Bars. Not sure however if they are named after the rock formation or some bloke called Clif who came up with the recipe. Thanks to the wonders of the internet I decided to save anyone the trouble to looking this up and it turns out that it was named after the father (Clifford) of the guy who started the company.
Here's the kids at the top of another pretty long hike



Having a quiet read by the falls



Off to Estes Park town center in the evening, primarily to buy fudge.
Also had a pretty good meal out in the town, basic food but well done
