A mountain sunrise worth getting up for

I hit the trail at 4:15 AM and walked up about 1.5 miles in the dark to get in position to see dawn's first light hit Hallet Peak above Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Fortunately the wind died down just before the dawn, but unfortunately there were no clouds to add drama to the sky above the mountain. Sorry about that. . .

Funny you should mention that moose bit. While I was standing there waiting for the dawn---there WAS a very large bull elk who showed up about 6 feet behind me. He just lay down and hung out until dawn broke and I wanted to leave.
