Rocky Mountain National Park - Day 4

The fourth day of our trip netted our best elk photos of the trip. We finally were lucky enough to get close to a large bull that was busy fending off younger bulls. We stayed with the large group of elk for several hours before they finally moved off into the mountains.
After that, we traveled up Trail Ridge Road - which had just reopened that morning - and spent some time walking some of the trails. Even though we have been to the park five times, this was the first time the Alpine Visitors Center was open. It was the last day of the season for the visitors center, though, so they were busy packing up before closing the building until June. There was already a couple of feet of snow at the higher elevations.
In the evening, we walked along a stream and tried to get some time exposures with the fall colors.
