Well US that is - This is Karen at the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. It's the highest continuous paved road in the US at somewhere over 12000 feet. Just after this we saw a big male Elk as well - just about to enter the rut and heading down to lower ground to round up his harem..

Pancakes with a view

Media_cardblackberrypicturesim

Our campsite was a little shady for breakfast (sun being important when its 47F outside) so we headed to a nearby picnic spot for some pancakes.
 
Karen would like to point out that its Nick's fault we have so much stuff - this is definitely not lightweight camping!
 
The mountains in the background are the Tetons with Grand Teton being out of sight behind the trees. Today's destination is Jackson (as in Jackson Hole).
 
Cheers
