Home again

It's been a long couple of days driving home from Colorado.  When we passed through Rock Mountain NP the wildlife was really on display.  The first was a young moose in the Kawuneeche Valley not far from the west entrance.

Next were a  couple of herds of elk near the  Alpine Visitors Center.  In the first herd just west of the visitors center was a female with what appears to be a tracking collar.

The second herd had a couple of magnificent bucks.
Finally we saw some bighorns scamper across the road and I was lucky enough to get a distance shot before they disappeared.
Although the day was mostly overcast, I did manage to get a photo of a glacial valley with a horn and surrounding cirques.

This will probably be my last post for a while as I will be getting ready for classes to start in 3 weeks.
