Serenity in Paradise
Another awesome stay at the BlueBell. We love the cabin and the serenity offered by its location.
The first night we heard a Mountain Lion out back behind the cabin. Days later while hiking behind the cabin and into Rocky Mountain National Park, we saw Mountain Lion tracks in the soft dirt of the trail.
We also got to see a large Bull Moose very close. I had gone out to my truck to get a case of water and when I turned around to cross the road, the Moose was slowly walking across the road about 20 feet from me. Another evening Teri heard Elk bugling in the distance.
We had lots of Birds coming to our feeders – 3 species of Nuthatches, 2 species of Chickadees, Stellar’s Jays, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, many Common Ravens and a Hawk.
We prefer to stay out of Estes Park (Too touristy), but had a few great meals in Allenspark at the Meadow Mountain Café and the Rock Creek Tavern & Pizzeria. The coffee was great at Meadow Mountain Café, I had never had it with a pinch of cinnamon in it before that. We checked another item off of our bucket list, we got to drive Old Fall River Road on the last day that it was open for the season. An awesome experience plus saw some great scenery and wildlife.
Thanks you for your hospitality and letting us stay at Blue Bell. A very nice, well stocked, cabin in a very serene area in the shadow of Mount Meeker. We enjoyed the cookies that you had ready for us on our arrival.
This was our second stay at the Rocky Mountain BlueBell and hope to be back.
