Rocky Mtn Natl Park

We got some cheap airfare into Denver, so decided to return to a favorite place, RMNP. Got here Friday and go back on Wednesday. Weather's been perfect - 70's during the day and 40's at night. Renting a cabin that faces Long's Peak. Great hiking, with snow-capped mtn views all around. We have got to get back here with the TD soon.

 

Another 'right place, right time' experience! We saw this mother elk and her NEWborn calf while on a hike to Cub Lake.


Here's a link to a 'video' of several pictures run together -

Glad you like them Julie, I wasn't sure if it worked as a 'video'.
If you have not been there before, you are gonna love Rocky Mtn. The views are fantastic in every direction! If you like to hike, you'll be in hiker heaven.

Evan, we have to talk.

 

Thanks Jenn, and you're welcome!

 

That was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Getting some good shots of hummingbirds became a quest while there - they seemed to be everywhere. This one stopped for a rest long enough for me to get off a few quick shots...

 

Thanks. Here's a shot of the coyotes that sang for us every evening -


- they'd gather several hundred yards away or so before beginning their nightly search for snacks...

 

Thank you - more from some of the hikes -

This is Mills Lake, which was a couple mile hike from Bear Lake.


The last mile or so was over the still snow-covered trail. Tougher hiking, but the views were great, and the streams and falls were running strong.


Alberta Falls -


I'd love to see this place in the fall.

 

Hi Charlie, these were taken with 3 different cameras. The hummingbird and coyote shots were with a Nikon D300. The other cameras are a Canon G10 point & shoot and my cell phone, which I used for the Alberta Falls picture. They help me burn a few extra calories on hikes

 

Thanks Carol. How's your trip going?
