ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

The view was amazing! This vista is a short walk up man-made stairs. Don't be fooled, though. Stairs or not, at this altitude, it's quite a hike for only 500 yards.

Grand vistas abound in Rock Mountain National Park. By the way, that's Wyoming way in the background.
Yellow-bellied Marmot. This little guy was following us around during our hike to Rock Cut.

Mushroom Rock, the only one of its kind in RMNP. And, "no," I didn't edit the colors.
This is Lava Cliffs, a 300 foot sheer wall of lava rock that has been cut by ice and snow over a long period of time. This picture was taken on July 18, 2006. The snow is actually a small glacier that never melts.
