Beautiful Mountains of Estes Park, Colorado

in #landscape7 years ago (edited)

Decided to take a day trip to Estes Park, Colorado, a popular tourist destination and home to the Stanley Hotel(which also served as inspiration for the hotel in Stephen King's "The Shining"). Also home to some beautiful mountain views!

Seemingly wild horse we discovered on the side of the road, in a little town near Estes Park.

A valley formed by the mountains. Some awesome features here.

Cool rock formation somewhere deeper in the park.

Overall very nice day in the mountains, I'd love to go back again!
