Rocky Mountain National Park- Get Excited!


Adam and I took a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park today and it was fabulous!! It is about 45 miles from Boulder and we decided that we'll probably do a lot of day trips to go hiking and photographing (and possibly snowshoeing in the winter). As a result, we picked up a yearlong pass to the park and are excited to go back again sometime in the next week or so for our second visit to the park!

We were only at the park for about 4 hours today and in that short time we saw a couple marmots, a few deer, and a ton of elk! We were primarily on the Old Fall River Road, Alpine Visitor Center and the Trail Ridge Road (since the Bear Lake Road and trails were packed with visitors in the morning and it started raining in the afternoon).  So glad we got an annual pass because we'll be able to back for several more visits and be able to take our time (plus I want to see some big horn sheep)!
