Heading into the Rockies, we decided to go the scenic route south from Laramie. It had been pouring rain all night down on the plains, and it was very cold - just above freezing - so we were expecting more snow at the higher altitudes. The plan was to weave our way through the mountains and see if the west entrance to Rocky Mountain Park was still open. We expected it wouldn't be, so wanted to take advantage of as many high mountain passes as possible, just in case. High at Cameron Pass, everything was covered with a fresh layer of snow.....
Leona took the two little ones out for a walk in the snow.....

As the road descended from Cameron Pass, we encountered vast stands of yellow aspen
covered in snow....which added a bit of colour to an otherwise 'black and white' landscape....

As it turned out, we were right about Rocky Mountain National Park - the high mountain road was
closed due to the snow. So we continued down out of the Rockies, towards Denver.
