Having lived in Estes for 8 years we know the area well and still have friends there who sent us video that was not public. You simply cannot imagine the devastation to property and lives. And point well made above - the RV park and the ranch are right at the bottom of the canyon walls and got the full force coming out.
But they will be back!
As they say up there...Canyon Strong !
Lauren, you would not believe what it looks like going up to Glen Haven. It's just heartbreaking the amount of damage. Are you familiar with the Stage Stop store and campground in Drake? The store survived, but the RV spaces were nearly all wiped out. Heading up the Glen Haven Rd from Drake, is like going back in time; there are whole sections where the road and everything around it were completely washed away. And coming DOWN the Glen Haven Rd from Estes, you don't have any idea of the destruction til you get just outside of Glen Haven, and then it gets worse as you head in to where the General Store is/was (it was moved off it's foundation or looks that way).
They too will be back ! ! !
