We made a spur of the moment decision to visit
Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday. The
first two times I was here it was rainy, cold and
down right miserable.
Enjoy the view!
A picture on the ascent to the summit.
We are always searching for ferocious animal
life. Five fierce chipmunks have gathered
to attack Bill!
Before long, Bill has tamed them to eat out of
his hand. This guy got my M&M! Everyone at
this pull off feeds the chippies.
Here is clear evidence of the remains of a
flash flood.
On the way to the summit, we passed a semi-
permanent small glacier.
You can see the craggy tops of one of the peaks.
We were just about past the timberline.
We are now in the tundra area of the mountain.
You can see there is a car on its way up.
Rocky Mountain National Park has the distinction
of having a paved road above 12,000 feet.
Here I am at Alpine Visitors Center.
I just had to climb into the snow and make a
snowball! Note the height of the plowing
stick to my left. They get lots of snow here.
You don't have to go to the European Alps to
experience the drama of dynamic mountains.
A parting shot of the mountains.
Can't wait to get back out west again soon!
