Colorado Trip, Day 1
Rocky Mountain National Park
We drove from Morrison to Boulder where we visited the Laughing Goat coffee shop and the Celestial Seasons Tea Factory. Then we drove to Nederland via a cool canyon road, and then headed through Rocky Mountain National Park, past Grand Lake, and back back to Morrison.
