Another Day In the Park
Today our outing was a drive to Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain Park. We were here 30 years ago and this was one time when we said, "you can go home again." We walked around both Bear Lake and Sprague Lake which are at about 8500'. It was cool and beautiful! 30 years ago we went on from Bear Lake with the kids on a hike about 10 miles or more to Nymph and Emerald Lakes. Sorry we're not in shape for that now.
There is still a lot of snow at this elevation and we wound up tramping through snow on the trail, getting our feet wet and sinking in the slush. I had fun doing my "pay it forward" picture routine by offering to take a picture of a couple and then a bit later someone offered to do ours. We meet lots of nice people that way.
On the way home we spotted this meadow filled with elk...you may think they're all rocks. When we got out the binoculars we saw hundreds of elk in the distance lying down, munching and playing. We also spotted a couple of huge bucks on the roadside in the trees but couldn't get a good shot.
All in all...a great day!
