We drove through the park on Trail Ridge Road which is the highest paved road in the continental US. It was incredible---so high we were above the tree line.
Quite a bit of snow still left at this elevation. (12,183ft.)
More elk along the hill tops.
It would have been even prettier if there were not so many dead trees from the bark beetle. It was very sad and will take years to recover. Another disappointment is we never saw a bighorn sheep. We even stopped at a place where they like to cross the road but none made an appearance. Maybe next time.....
