August afternoons build over Twin Sisters and come down toward Meeker Park with roughly ten minutes' warning. Rocky Mountain Tree Service works the mornings, then — mowing, trimming and edging Estes Park yards while the sky is still an honest blue. Cleanups follow the storms, because wind at this elevation always leaves something behind to gather. There is a particular pride in a lot that stays orderly under big weather, season after season. Come back a week later and it still holds its shape.
