On the next day of trail fever, we started trailing from Roaring Fork Motor Nature trail. I must say it was a lovely drive with great scenery. It's a slow drive drive on a narrow road with twists and turns. Just roll down the windows and see mountains, nature at its best with streams and hiking trails to waterfalls. Come early to get a parking spot. We missed the rainbow falls on the way, but that's ok.
There is one more fall on the route of roaring fork called as Grotto Falls. Perfect spot to take a picture behind the waterfalls. Hike was rocky and rooty, I would say a moderate hike but worth the effort. Tennis shoes are best for these hikes.
Another popular fall with a moderate hike. The hike is paved but long and uneven. It also has good spots to take picture with the fall. Be careful, as its bit slippery. Also you should bring extra clothing, if you plan to get wet. Lot of beautiful people were enjoying the water and bathing. We stayed longer at this fall, just to enjoy the view and take pictures.
Horse Ride
Our kid girl was asking for Helicopter and Horse ride since the start of our tour, so we visited horse camp next to find out that they were closed. But it could have been a great ride as it was a F 5 mile ride. Awesome.
Helicopter Tours
Next obviously was the most bragged topic-helicopter tours, so we turned our car towards them. Fortunately, they were open and gave us a good ride. Pilot even did a somersault which was a nice touch.

It was 4th of July which is Independence Day of USA. But the US people just call it as Happy 4th instead of Independence Day. I am not sure, exactly why, there are different theories about that. It was a nice small parade of 1 hour. There were many people gathered to see the parade which starts at midnight and the best part, everyone disappeared within 5 minutes as the parade was over. Also it create a big traffic jam which is obvious.
When we were returning next day, our Mata wanted to visit the birthplace of KFC. We granted her wish too, so that both the girls are happy. We stopped for lunch in Kentucky on our way back. The best part of our drive back was songs on high volume and then their translations.
We had to drop baby girl near Shaumberg and we didn't had Indian food anywhere in our trip, so we planned to visit an Indian restaurant for a sweet ending. Ordered different kinds of delicious food, had a closing chat and then dropped car at rental agency. Finally Ubered home.
