Early morning drive and success!
Time for some grazing!
And nibbling on some willow leaves

We had some great times with them and thank them for their generous hospitality.
Alpine area of Rocky Mountain National Park
Rock areas were great for watching Pikas.
In between scurrying around gathering food they would sit and watch.
Their sharp squeek was for communicating with each other.
Yellow-bellied Marmots were plentiful
Basking in the sun on a cold morning - summit 12,578ft.
This small Elk herd was on the Tundra and caused a traffic jam.
