When the snow clears, the park’s many famous sites are on display: Trail Ridge Road, spectacular wildflowers, elk, waterfalls, and unique alpine tundra. The family’s big adventure? A hike up Longs Peak, a Colorado Â"fourteener.†But afternoon storms pelt the family during their training hikes, and they begin to question the wisdom of a nighttime summit ascent.
