Horse Rides in the Rocky Mountain National Park

[katewinston]

Every year, we are on the lookout to see a part of the US. The choice is usually something that takes us back to the past. This season we planned a vacation to see and experience the Rockies and after much searching, chose the Estes Park Vacation package available at Sombrero Ranches.

Estes Park is less than an hour's drive from Boulder and a bit more from Denver on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. That was near enough to the City for us and yet comfortably far away. The horse rides were a perfect way to see the stunning beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

Rocky Mountain National Park is a most famous park of Colorado. I have been there about few months ago with my elder sister. We stay there for one day and enjoyed its nature charming views. It is a best place for having fun and you can enjoy there hiking, photography and nature veiwing. Millions of tourist go there every years to enjoy incredible beauty of this park. I think it is a nice place for nature and adventure lover.
