After years of being one of the stay at home types for Memorial Day weekend, I'll be heading to the same place I went last year...Rocky Mountain National Park, for the opening of Trail Ridge Road. Got reservations for Glacier Basin very early in the window season, and got the same spot I had last year, which is to say a great spot in D Loop. Will be up on Trail Ridge very early to beat the loonie lookie loos, and back in camp in time for the deer and elk.
EDIT TO ADD: Given that Estes Park just got over 31 inches of snow this weekend and even more up in Rocky, it's going to be a challenge to see what the site I have will be like. It's in the open, so hopefully will be (a) accessible and (b) somewhat melted off. Wasn't planning to take a snow shovel, but sounds like it might be needed. Not even sure that Glacier Basin will be able to open for the season next weekend!
