More exploring!

As we were heading back home from our first trip to Estes Park we decided to stop by the Tramway to take a quick ride to the top of a peak and see some nice views. I totally did NOT take into account how windy it was that day and, well, really wished I had half way up. Let's just say I feared for my life. Jack didn't, but he's fearless I guess. Katy would have rather been anywhere else but on that tram and made sure to let her feelings be known. Funny enough after we paid for our tickets (sheesh, a little costly!) we happened to run into Liam's family again, this time it was unplanned! The views from the top were amazing! We were even able to see the smoke plume from the High Park fire (I think that was the fire). As we got off the tram there was a pathway that led around a little building to the trails....we had to hold on tight to the kids to keep them from being pushed by the wind. scary. We met up with Liam's family and they let Tyler have some peanuts to feed the chipmunks, which he thoroughly enjoyed!

 And this last picture just cracks me up, it was for sale in the gift shop at the top of the tramway...

The tram was fun, and I'm sure the hikes at the top are nice too, but we didn't want the wind to get worse before we could make it back down so we didn't stay up long (even the tram operator said they'd probably be shutting it down soon, that's how bad it was!)....and we probably won't pay the money to do that again.
