Rocky Mountain National Park

Last time I was here in Rocky Mountain National Park it was the last part of the journey to Fort Collins and I was towing Hobbit Home through hail and torrential rain. This time the sun was shining and although the temperature dropped from 85 to 62 as we made our way up the mountains it was a whole different experience. We saw chipmunks, ground squirrels, elk, pika and eagles. Joe ignored the signs and gave a squirrel an almond which allowed me to take some great close ups. The squirrels cheeks got fatter and fatter as he madly shoved the almond pieces in before the chipmunks could get them. We didn’t get close to a pika but we watched one climb a bush a tear leaves off then scamper to a hole in the rocks to store them. The photo of the pika is one we saw sunbathing on the rocks.
