Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge

Saturday we went to Denver and tried something new. The wildlife refuge there has a visitors center with lots of cool stuff to view, touch and do. They also offer a 2 hour tour of the area in search of animals out in the wild. All for free! It was a pretty neat place. It would be nice to see at different times of the year as well to maybe see different animals as well as maybe a little more green or color next time!





lots of mule deer as well as white tailed deer
the kids were pretty good, but it was a bit long and not as captivating for the 2 youngin's

lots of geese




binoculars they passed around- the kids really liked that- next time we should bring some of our own

large herd of bison that were actually running around in circles like you might see in a western movie- very cool
quite a few bald eagles

visitor's center


After the refuge we stopped by the Bass Pro Shops store- oh my goodness!! If you have never been you need to check one out! It was the biggest, coolest, outdoor store I have ever seen. There were life sized stuffed animals all over the store, an aquarium, waterfall, fireplace, with any and every kind of outdoor equipment you could think of. It even had a starbucks in the middle and a restaurant attached to it. It felt like we had wandered around in there for maybe half an hour only to find out it had been an hour and a half!




Dave's heaven- the fly fishing section

our boys are ready to ride!!
