![]() One evening I was taking photos of a few bull Elk grazing on the tundra up above the treeline. They had their noses in the grass and were not paying much attention to me and several others who were taking photos from a distance. After about 20 minutes a photographer next to me got up, turned his back and quietly walked back to the car to get another lens. All three Elk raised their heads and watched him walk away. Click, click, click. I got my photo (I felt kind of bad that he missed it). Thanks whoever you are. We did see one Moose on the west side of the park and got a few photos, but she was mostly in the willows munching on her favorite food. We saw several Pika, high above the tree line on a rocky mountain side, along with the Marmots and other ground squirrels. Pikas are a small rodent with short legs, rounded ears and no tail. The only other place that we have seen them was in Alaska. Well, it's taken me a month to go through my photos and sort out a couple dozen to share with you. I hope you enjoy. | Click here to see more photos of Rocky Mountain National Park.
