We took a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and to see our friends, the Potts at their ranch near Grand Lake. We were hoping to see a lot of wildlife and we were not disappointed.
On the way to RMNP we spotted this osprey nest with at least three young osprey. The mother was away from the nest at this time.
Near Granby, where we lived about 34 years ago, the Continental Divide has this unusual formation. What do you think it looks like? We have always said Abraham Lincoln lying in repose.
We traveled to the top of Trail Ridge Road where we came upon a herd of elk.
The Alexanders at the top of Trail Ridge.
At the west end of RMNP we spotted this young moose.
Steve and I went on to Grand Lake and hiked to Adams Falls.
A pretty striped chipmunk on the rocks near the falls.
We stopped by the Potts ranch to visit. The views from their house are fantastic.
They raise llamas on the ranch.
Hummingbirds at their feeder on the deck.
This gorgeous red fox walked just beyond their deck in the meadow.
And a buck deer was strolling through the willows near the stream on the ranch. We saw so many different wildlife while on this day trip…so fun!
