Rocky Mountain National Park — September 5, 2009
We’re really not much for spending a lot of time in shops or arts and craft shows any more, so after Saturday morning in Estes Park, we decided to head back into the park again — up to Trail Ridge Road by way of the old Fall River Road.

Sure enough, a nice group of elk, bedded down for the day
One of the many switchbacks on the one-way Fall River Road
Quite chilly, with 46 d with a 26mph wind speed for a 37 wind chill
On the way back down, headed to Estes Park
Soon after we were in the park, we saw sure signs of wildlife ahead.
On the way up, we saw much more fall color than just a few days before.
By the time we were at the top, it was starting to spit rain with a little bit of frozen stuff
