Old Fall River Road Trip

We took a trip up Old Fall River Road in RMNP.  It was cloudy with sleet at the top but also beautiful.  We only saw one elk; a big bull standing in the shadows in the forest.


This is a view back toward Estes Park




A single Aspen leaf.  They're turning!



It's not just Aspens that turn yellow-green golden.  This is vegetation in a valley just below the summit.



The tops of the mountains were shrouded in clouds.  It sleeted with a few flakes of snow.  If you look closely you can see the bright patches of aspen.

All in all, a good day.
