Rocky Mountain National Park

Here are some images of the animal life. On the patch of snow is a herd of elk and they were running around like a bunch of kids, kicking up their heals and having fun. It was great to watch!





here we are riding down from the top!!





After having a great time at Bockman State Forest outside Gould CO we left on monday and went to Rocky Mtn National Park. We always enjoy staying up at Rocky, the scenery is top notch and it is nice to sit outside the camper and look at the view right from your campsite. This a shot


of Long's Peak right from our campsite!!




We drove up to the top of the park and decided to take turns riding our bikes down to the bottom. The view on the way down was spectacular!! 12.5 miles from 12,000 feet down to about 8,000 feet. What a fun ride, so much so we did it again the next day!!


Rocky is well know for its large heard of Elk and Big Horn Sheep. We saw lots of Elk but did not get to see any Big Horns this year. We went looking for Moose, but they were also being very elusive.
