After breakfast on the Monday of the Ale there is a unique and unpublicized event: the traditional Top of the World Tour for All Who Will. Plan on leaving camp by 10 AM to travel to Estes Park and enter the Rocky Mountain National Park. Bring your National Park Pass, or plan on paying if you take your car in. From there we head up Trail Ridge Road , the highest road in the continental US. Some years it is open all the way to the gift shop at the top, and some years at some point it is closed by snow. We go as far as we can, park, and hope that hops and capers are enough to keep us warm!
This event should be over by around 2 PM, leaving a couple hours to the airport, you should plan on flying out some time after 6 PM. If you prefer to stay another night, there will be opportunities for lodging among Colorado Morris member teams.
