Scenic Drive to Grand Lake

We spent the day driving to Grand Lake.  We pulled over at most of the scenic overlooks or short hikes to climb rocks or take pics of all the animals.  Today we saw:


This is in the alpine area (above treeline)

Can you see the moose grazing?

Adams Falls hike
Over 40 elk, 5 moose, 3 marmots, deer, and misc. small varmints.  The most exciting were the moose.  Two of the moose we saw were great big bulls, one 6 years old and one about 8 years old.  The 8-yr old moose stands about 9.5 feet high according to the ranger who was there.
