Big rain, Big rainbow.
On Wednesday August 31, 2011 Liz and I were on day 3 of our week long Rocky Mountain National Park exploration. After touring Grand Lake, CO we began the trek back East across the Rocky Mountains to get back to our camp-site. As we drove up Trail Ridge Road nearing 14,000 feet in elevation we found ourselves in the middle of a driving rain storm. The wind was epic. Our vehicle shook and swayed as the rain pounded the mountainous landscape.
As the rain continued we noticed a sliver of blue sky to the east. We both mentioned that if the weather would break in our favor we could be witness to some awesome scenery. We were correct and fortunate, as five minutes later the weather broke. The sun began to shine and out came the most magnificent rainbow that Liz and I have ever seen. Bright colors arched across the sky to form a full rainbow. It was so close that if it wasn't a mirage we could have ran out to touch it.
