This was taken in the early fall (late September, 2005, according to the exif data), which is the best time of the year to be in RMNP because the crowds are gone.

This panorama was done with a series of maybe 5 or 6 shots using a HP PhotoSmart 817 camera (5 MP point and shoot). At the time, I worked for the HP division that developed those cameras (writing test and calibration software for the camera manufacturing) and often had one to test with. Since that camera was one of the earliest ones to have in-camera panorama stitching, I probably used it to make the whole scene. (I can't find any individual shots on any of my systems.). Later editing was done with LightZone (removed some branches in water and did some tonal adjustments).

Rocky Mountain National Park is in Colorado, northwest of Denver. I lived in Loveland at the time, had annual passes, and spent many off season days up in the park.

You are welcome. While the Pacific Northwest is nice, we miss the short drive we used to take to get up into the Rockies.
