well I tried

I got up to the mountains the other day, drove for 2 hours to the western part of Rocky Mountain National Park (a 200 mile round trip drive). Many of the roads in that area are snow covered and icy, they obviously got alot of snow this past month. When I got to the western entrance to the park I was going to pick up a pass at the visitor center there, boy was I disapointed, I didn't have any cash, only a credit card, and they were accepting only cash. Apparently this is a rule they have in that part of the park during the winters, cash only. I drove 100 miles and 2 hours for nothing. I was originally going to do some camping there but the temps were supposed to drop to 8 below zero and I changed it to a day trip. Well if anything I was able to get out of town.
The above photo of Baker Mountain was taken last year in Rocky Mountain National Park, taken along the trail Ridge Road on the western side of the park. Last year I already had an annual national parks pass so I had no problem getting in, I was hoping to get another annual pass at that visitor center this year but with no luck. I guess I am having to go somewhere else to get an annual pass.
