A travel day. We bought Voodoo doughnuts and had a park breakfast. Said goodbye to my mother and travelled to Estes Park. Took some time to set up the tents.
A down day.
Learn that Estes Park was formed because of Tourism as it helped the founder with tuberculosis.
The tour guide pamphlet mentioned about the Arapahoe and how they inhabited the region. It also mentioned about in the early 1900s how Congress would name certain Peaks and places Native American place names. Of course it doesn't mention about how they drove the Arapahoe out of the area.
Of moving in 1859, 1863, 1873.
A lot of mentioning about the struggles of white people. Nothing about the struggles of the arapahoe.
