Meditating ♀️/climbing up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. Such a perfect reset before starting a new week. How was your weekend? .

YOU GUYS!!!!! Look who is standing at 12,000 ft in elevation @rockynps! This is HUGE! You would never guess this little guy was born 28 weeks weighing 3 lbs, flight for life’d and hospitalized/intubated for 3 weeks! He is resilient, strong and now traveling and hiking around the globe!

A few more pictures from riding Trail Ridge Road this weekend, the highest paved through road in Colorado.❤️

We rode Trail Ridge Road from the town of Grand Lake, almost to the top and back down. The ride itself was not quite as challenging as I had expected. I had thought it would be about 48 miles and 5500 ft of elevation gain but it only ended up being 43 miles and 3400 ft. ♀️ Not sure how we miscalculated that so bad! However, because I was expecting it to be so much harder I ended up pacing myself for a longer, harder ride on Day 1 and having a lot left in the tank. Going in on Day 2, knowing what was coming, I definitely approached it differently and had a much quicker ride up (even ended up snagging a top 7 spot! ). .
.
There’s some beautiful scenery on this route, lots of wildlife spotting and absolutely pristine roads which are pretty hard to come by here in Colorado. Definitely a great way to spend a weekend of cycling in the mountains. ♀️ The only downside of this ride was the traffic, and especially as it got closer to the top. Nevertheless, most cars/people were very friendly and considerate, even giving me kudos and thumbs up as they passed me on the climb. Definitely coming back to do this one again - hopefully on a weekday with less traffic - and making sure to leave plenty of time afterwards to hang out in the beautiful town of Grand Lake. The town had the best food I’ve had in a while and as we all know, there’s nothing better than stuffing our face after a nice long ride! ❤️

We spent the last day of our trip in Rocky Mountain National Park + I had tears in my eyes most of the time because it really is THAT beautiful. I am so grateful that we had the chance to spend six days together road tripping and exploring Colorado, but I am equally as grateful that he was on board with ditching our Airbnb yesterday to drive all night so we could get home to our babies first thing this morning #neature #rockymountainnationalpark
