Yellowstone Day 3

Drove up Old Fall River Road. Stopped at Alpine Visitors Center. Walked up all the steps (12,005 feet elevation) and saw elk. B was feeling some altitude sickness. Came down Trail Ridge Road.



Talked to a ranger at Sheep Lakes about the bighorn sheep, but didn't see any. Ate at McD's in Estes Park.

Waited out a rainstorm at Glacier Gorge Trailhead. Hiked to Alberta Falls. Continued on to Mills Lake (5.6 miles round-trip). Kids were exhausted and we paid them $2 to continue to hike.
Saw a mother and young moose at the lake. Felt so good to take our boots off and soak our feet in the water!



Hiked back down (much more pleasant) and ate at Village Pizza in Estes Park. Went to bed!
