Spotted this fairly large rocky mountain ponderosa pine (Pinus scopulorum) growing out of a cliff face on a massive rock outcrop (probably 1500 feet high) along the Cow Creek trail in Rocky Mountain National Park a couple of weekends ago. #thicktrunk #trees #naturephotography #RMNP
@ai6yr also found this, describing protests and upside down flags in Rocky Mountain National Park today. I love that there is a group called Resistance Rangers

What’s your favorite trail in Rocky Mountain National Park?

Another great photo from our morning hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Incredibly still, with a thin glassy layer of frost on everything. #rmnp #colorado #photography
Rocky Mountain National Park offers photographers breathtaking opportunities to capture nature’s majesty. From the iconic Trail Ridge Road—where sweeping mountain vistas stretch endlessly—to the serene Bear Lake, surrounded by towering pines and mirrored reflections, every turn reveals a beautiful scene.

Now that you've been through Hell (Canyon) you get a glimpse of Paradise (Park)!
It's a secluded valley in the southwestern corner of #RockyMountainNationalPark, #colorado. It's one of the only places I've ever been with zero sign of human presence. No trails, no camping, and very remote. It's very hard to get to and really hard to leave once you're there.
Chipmunks at Rainbow Curve, Rocky Mountain National Park
These little critters are fast and don't sit still for very long. Managed to get these 4 shots where there actually was a chipmunk in the frame and not a complete blur! 
Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel, Rainbow Curve in Rocky Mountain National Park.
These are about the same size as chipmunks and are often misidentified as chipmunks because they do have racing stripes down their backs just not on their faces.

You can now fly to #denver, hop the #train to Union Station and then take #transit to Rocky Mountain National Park and see Moraine Park, Sprague Lake Glacier Gorge, and Bear Lake, all without a car. Or the Stanley Hotel, if that’s your thing.
