Rocky Mountain National Park
We got to the entrance of the national park at about 7pm. We had only gone about 5 min in before we started to see elk. We saw hundreds of elk. We saw quite a few bulls as you can see in the pictures. The canyon was absolutely beautiful. Uncle Owen said something to the effect of it being the highest continually paved road in US or something like that. It went up very quickly with a lot of very sharp turns. The Elevation was 10,749. The picture of the top really does not do it justice. It was so pretty and the animals were amazing. At the top the sign talked about the continental divide. Where the water either went to the Atlantic or Pacific ocean. As we left the top to go down we had a four point deer, a doe and two fawn walk right across the road in front of us. The doe and babies were so kind to stand and pose for me to take my favorite picture of the night. Sooo cute... We were able to experience all of this in two hours. WOW!
