We had not driven more than a mile in Rocky Mountain National Park before we came on this immature Great Horned owl. No sign of the parents.

Then we headed over to the west side of the park near GrandLake. We saw six different groups of moose from the road!

The male elk are in velvet as they are growing their antlers for the fall mating season.

Thanks Dedereaux. I agree. Sometimes one keeper is all you get.

Thank you Bluff City. We live just 20 miles from the park and go several times a year.

Thanks sailors mom, the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park are pretty numerous in moose. Just cows calves and yearlings. The Bulls are up in the forest higher up.
