My parents came to visit me in Estes and like anyone who works in the tourist buisness, I just wanted to get away for my weekend. We did. We traveled about an hour and a half south to one of Colorado's many 14ers. Mount Evans, which is just out side of the town of Idaho Springs (which is about 10 minutes from Blackhawk, a place with many casinos that I lost money in.) We left Estes early on Thursday and we had hoped to see Mount Evans that day. But it was later in the afternoon when we got there and since it is the monsoon season here, it was raining. And there is no point of being above treeline if you can't see very far.
