rocky mountain critters

Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! Actually we didn't see any of those animals but we did see: elk, deer, prairie dogs, marmots, pika, bats, squirrels, chipmunks, trout, pelicans, magpies, osprey, a fox, and countless others I'm probably forgetting.

This elk visited the deck at our condo. If you go to Estes Park, you are guaranteed to see elk. Large populations live in and around the Rocky Mountain National Park and can be seen wandering through town on a daily basis.
