There is big and then there is Colorado Big! The elk in this photo is a big bull elk, but he is made to look small in the massive, mountainous landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park’s high country. I found him grazing in this high alpine field near the pass on Trail Ridge Road late last season. The first snow had come, but luckily the pass was still open. It closed down for the season the following week.
Was this one of the elk we saw on our trip? The picture is beautiful!!!
Yes
