Day 5.






Megafauna - the biology geeky word for big animals that people come to the parks to see. Today the Park Service must have been working overtime, as the critters were out in force. We saw 5 moose as we drove thru the west side of the park; a ton of elk up high on Trail Ridge Road, and more elk and a few coyotes to boot tonight as we went in search of the elusive Bighorn Sheep of Endo  Valley. Estes Park is beautiful as always; turns out we are in the exact same room as last year, and have a plan for some waterfall hikes in a part of RMNP I have never been. Should be a ball! We drove from Frisco early this morning, taking a more cross country route through Kremmling and Hot Sulphur Springs. Much more relaxing than up and over another pass through Winter Park...anyway we are a tired crew tonight. Here are a few of my pics...
