Trip 3 Day 20 -- Rocky Mountain High

Up early, drove to Rocky Mtns National Park, drove Trail Ridge Road up past the treeline to the tundra, across the Continental Divide (12,183 feet), over to Grand Lake, saw two different herds of elk, and saw a mommy moose with her baby.  Stopped for lunch in Granby.  Then, we went to Hot Sulfur Springs, and spent a couple of hours soaking in the hot mineral waters (we had both brought our swimsuits for just such an opportunity).   The hot water felt great, but was full of little white floatie thingies, the minerals precipitating out of the heavy mineral water as it cooled down.  The entire place smelled like rotten eggs or someone had passed gas.  the facility looked like it hadn't seen any maintenance at all since it was built in the 1920's.  After trying without success to get the smell off our bodies, we drove back through Winter Park, up across Berthoud Pass, and had dinner at the famous BeauJo's in Idaho Springs, Colorado.  Great Day in the high Rockies.
