Rocky Mtn High
A very quick two nights spent in Loveland, CO.
Day trip into the Rocky Mountain National Park, entered from Estes Park.
Crystal clear skies made for crystal clear air; that “Rocky Mountain High” is no joke. The air smells so good, and at elevations close to 12,000 feet made for spectacular sights.
The park has three different eco zones according to elevation: the Montane (greenest and most bio-diverse), the subalpine (with lodgepole pines, fir and spruce trees and lakes) and the alpine (my favorite, with tiny wildflowers and winds reaching 100 MPH!).
The grand finale sight while exiting the park was a Moose and her calf getting a drink of water in the lower meadow.
