Here we are at the Park entrance. The town of Estes Park, Colorado sits at the entrance to the park. Lovely, quaint town with friendly people who love tourists. Not many places can say that!
April is the perfect time to go. Uncrowded and still beautiful.
Mule Deer have huge ears. We saw several groups of them over the 3 days.
Crows and ravens were everywhere!
This turkey came out of nowhere while we were in the parking lot waiting for the sun to set. He gobbled the entire time he was walking across the lot, obviously upset that we were there.
It was crazy!
These fences are everywhere through the park. they are part of a 20 year plan to allow areas to restore. It keeps the elk from devastating all the habitat.
Coyote! I thought it might be a wolf, but when I got a good look at those ears there was no doubt.
This is a magpie.
Elk were roaming throughout the park.
This is a big male elk.
These ladies were outside our lodge the morning we left for Denver.
Prairie dogs!
Stegasaurous. The very first stego was found on Dinosaur Ridge just outside of Denver.
A wascally wabbit!
These beauties nested in our bath at the Quality Inn at the Airport on our last night.
A pleasant surprise in an airport hotel!
