Rocky Mountain National Park

We have visited Rocky Mountain National Park many times in the past, and have taken numerous hikes back to lakes, etc.  This trip through we decided to hike back to Alberta Falls.  This is how the mountains looked as we were leaving the parking lot.

There were numerous little falls all along the trail.

At one point everyone stopped to watch this grouse.

Finally Alberta Falls came into view.

We continued our drive through the park

and stopped at many of the lookouts along the way.

This little guy was sitting there ready to give directions

to anyone who would stop by.

Posing seemed to come second nature to him.

The picture below is of one of my most favorite outlooks in the entire park.
I have always enjoyed seeing the beautiful lake twinkling in the sunlight way up in the tundra.  When I blew up my picture this time, I was amazed to see at least four lakes.

Even where we stopped to eat, there was interesting things to see outside the window.  This little marmot was a very busy little fellow.



Way down in the valley below us, I saw some spots moving and discovered there was a herd of Elk having their lunch and resting.

One last view from the tundra and the we were ready to leave the park and head west.
