Ready to get Rocky Mountain high? We are heading over to Colorado for this episode of Exploring the National Parks!

Join us as we cover: 

• Everything you need to know about the Bear Lake area

• The hike that you can’t miss at this park

• Why you should be taking the afternoon thunderstorms very seriously

• How to prepare for possible altitude sickness

• All of the incredible hiking trails you can check out at this park

• The food in Bear Lake…or lack thereof!

• The famous creepy hotel you can visit during your trip

• Places to camp in Rocky Mountain and the best places to see elk

• The star of Rocky Mountain National Park - The Trail Ridge Road

Hitting the trail in Rocky Mountain is where you really see the magic, so we hope you get a chance to get out there and see it for yourself! Any extra time you can spend seeing mother nature in action is humbling, especially while you’re in these mountains.
