We made it to Estes Park, right outside of the Rocky's to camp. We didn't know what to expect because of the weather, we kept hearing about snow but never saw any once we got there. We drove into Rocky Mountain National Park and there was only a section of it open to drive to, the ranger told us that everywhere else was too snow covered to drive to. Still a shock because at the elevation we were at, there was still no sign of snow. We did what we could, and explored Bear Lake and Nymph Lake. Once we parked and started the trailhead we finally saw all this snow everyone keeps talking about - and in a big way! I was hoping to get those iconic photos of the mountains reflecting into the lake, but we got something completely different. I don't think I've ever hiked like this in the snow before.
