The Highlander Games

Posted on 10. Sep, 2007 by fresh-E in just for fun

On our way up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a hike yesterday, lo and behold, the Highlander Games/Festival was well under way in Estes Park. Let me tell you how excited I was…some might think it weird, but I have always wanted to go to one of these festivals – are you kidding me, men in kilts displaying feats of great strength?! This was not an opportunity to pass up. Check out some photos captured on a beautiful day in Estes Park. If you look closely, there’s also a bit of FP :)   enjoy, fresh-E
