We drove to the Alluvial Fan on the Old Falls River Road, then kept going up to the visitors center on the one-way dirt road. Lots of pictures, so I'll let you look. Oh, An alluvial fan is a fan-shaped deposit formed where a fast flowing stream flattens, slows, and spreads typically at the exit of a canyon onto a flatter plain. Enjoy!
P.S. I forgot to mention that when we tried to get back to the campground, we were turned back by police due to a fire that started on the edge of Estes Park. We were able to get into Estes Park and go to McDonald's to use the Wi-Fi to keep tabs on the fire. After a few hours, we were allowed back into the campground, but not before the fire had destroyed 21 homes. It was started by one of those home owners burning trash!
