If you want to get away from the crowds in Rocky Mountain National Park, head to the east side of Estes and into the solitude of Hermit Park. Formally owned by Hewlett Packard, it is now run by Larimer County. There are campsites and cabins for rent, in addition to a trail to Kruger Rock. Friday in mid-August and there was only one other car in the parking lot.
We headed up through meadows of wildflowers and ponderosa pines dripping with sap, wondering which way the trail was going to twist and turn on its way up the mountain.
The rocky summit offers a beautiful view down into the Estes valley and up to the mountains of the high country.
Cousins together for the first time in a long time - Maggie, Ronnie, John, Pat, John and Muneca.
