After the main driving part was complete, we spent a quiet day at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, during this time, we looked at nice overlooks, and drove up and down mountains at elevations of 8500 to 12000. My sister, my grandpa, and I suffered from headaches that occurred, because of elevation sickness.
In the morning, we went to the Bear Lake, and took the short half-mile hike around it, that was all we did in the morning, it took really long because we stopped every twenty steps to take a picture. After that, we drove up a dirt road to the Alpine visitor center, which was built almost 12,000 feet above sea level. We took many pictures of the view from the high point of the park. Later, we went back down to the other side of the park, went back up the mountain and down the other way stopping every overlook, and take every possible picture from every single angle. It was annoying, and my head was starting to hurt a lot. When we went down, we ate dinner at a Thai food place, where my head hurt so much I couldn't even eat much. At the hotel, I slept a long sleep and my headache was gone in the morning.
