It took us awhile to make up our minds, but we finally decided to go to Grand Lake which is right outside the Rocky Mountain National Park. We are staying in an RV park that is on the west edge of the park, its entrance across the road from the Kawuneeche Visitors Center. This RV park also caters to horses. Not only do they offer trail rides and horse rentals, they have campsites with corrals just for people with horses.
There is a big sign as you enter the national park that instructs people to not approach animals but to stay on the shoulder to take pictures. A short way past that sign, we came across several cars parked on the road with people out photographing an anterless moose! Probably a female. Later this afternoon, John and I took a short 2 mile hike from the visitors center and encountered a female and young male elk and a female and baby moose! I tried taking pictures but there were too many tree trunks and bushes between me and the animal.
Better get to bed as tomorrow we will play golf and do some park explorations. Supposed to get into the 40's tonight!
