Went to RMNP today. They opened the pass last weekend and the sleepy towns around here have suddenly become not-so-sleepy.
You almost always see elk when you first enter the park (either side):
And my favorite (moose) were everywhere today:
It's hard to see (because he blends in with the grass so well) but there's a coyote behind the moose. He came out of the woods and made a wide path around the moose. The moose stopped eating for a second, looked up at the coyote, then went back to eating - totally unconcerned:
Better look at the coyote:
This guy (a yearling) was right by the road enjoying the new growth:
And last, but not least, the strangest inhabitants of the park... they're seasonal...
Anybody wanna come visit me now?
Huh, huh?
I've got a guest room!
