Grand ol' Time at the Canyon

What is 1 mile deep, 18 miles wide and 277 miles long???
The Grand Canyon! 
Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona is a sight. I have a hard time describing it because when I look at it I just have no words! I am just amazed by its beauty. But what I can say is that I loved seeing it while it was snowing! There is just something magical about snow, but put that with the views of the Grand Canyon, and it's just overwhelmingly beautiful and bitterly cold. Since it was so cold and snowy it was easier just to drive around the South Rim of the park and get out at a few places for pictures. Some people were braving the cold and hiking, but I just was not prepared for walking around in that weather. I wish I would've remembered my Parks Passport to get stamps, but of course didn't have it. Just another reason to go back!

Gateway to the West: St. Louis

St. Louis is a beautiful place to visit in the fall. There are so many fun historical things to do in and around the city. My favorite place to visit is St. Charles, which is about 35 minutes Northwest of St. Louis. This is like a picture perfect fall town out of a movie. The cobblestone streets lined with cute local businesses and trees changing with the season are just charming. We walked along the street checking out the local shops and tried some of their local wine. I absolutely loved the warm pumpkin wine with whipped cream at Bella Vino. This was just a quintessential fall town and I absolutely fell in love with it! And of course no trip to St. Louis is complete with out a trip to the Gateway Arch!

Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful! We drove through Boulder up to Estes Park to enter the park. I loved watching the scenery change from rolling hills to rocky mountain peaks. I truly enjoyed the scenic drive as we climbed in elevation up to around 12,000 feet on Trail Ridge Road. We drove for about an hour or so to Medicine Bow Curve. From there you could see snow still on the mountain peaks in the distance and the temperature dropped from 80 degrees in Boulder to about 39 degrees at our turnaround point. The mountain range was quite a sight and went as far as the eye could see. This was such a great drive, but I wish we had more time to get out and hike. I would have loved to hit the trails and see what we could accomplish on foot. Maybe next time, but until then I will be dreaming of these Rocky Mountains. So excited we made it to RMNP!
