The Christmas forecast calls for cold, dry weather on Saturday, chance of snow flurries Christmas Eve day (Sunday), and dry weather on Christmas Day. Nighttime lows are expected in the single digits (brrr) with highs in the 20s. Santa is likely to consider those as downright balmy conditions, Unfortunately, Rocky Mountain National Park is closed for most activities due to the federal budget impasse. However, on the park's east side, an eight-mile road loop (highways 36b and 34) connecting the Beaver Meadows and Fall River entrances will be open and plowed for emergency and visitor use. The road to Bear Lake, hiking trails and other access points will be closed. However, the views along that eight-mile stretch are spectacular. There's still plenty ofactivity in this town that twinkles with thousands ofwhite lights. A Christmas Ademoo, adapted from Truman Capote's heartwarming short story, has its final performance at The Stanley Hotel on Friday night. There are midnight Christmas Eve services at several ofthe churches in town. Shopping and gallery hopping are great ways to entertain yourself and your family. There's plenty ofwildlife to watch right in town -- including elk, deer and coyotes. Elk gangs (yes, that's the technical term for a herd of elk) congregate in front of the historic Stanley Hotel, on both golf courses, in Arapahoe Meadows south oftown on Colorado Highway 7 and at Meadowdale on U. S. 36 just before entering Estes Park. Big horn sheep are more elusive but can sometimes be seen just east of Drake on U. S. 34 (Big Thompson Canyon) and west ofEstes Park on the way to the north entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park via U. S. 34. Have a Merry and Safe Holiday.
