Eagle Cliff

I forgot to mention that I have been seeing herds and herds of elk. Wednesday when we were hiking in Moraine Park there were many groups of elk. When we drove through Horseshoe park there were more and more elk too. Last evening after dinner I went with some people up Eagle Cliff. It was amazing! There are two false tops...meaning you think it's the top but it isn't. Once we got to the top we could see the front range beautifully and if we looked back we saw Estes Park, even through the canyon to the plains. Here are some pictures. Oh wait I forgot. I had two ticks on me: one I caught when we were hiking down it was just on my pant leg but then when I got ready to shower there was one on my leg. It's now natural that after hiking in brush to perform a tick check :-)

Me, Christopher, and Calvin at the first false top. We were ahead of the others.
