The Colorado State Open Thread is generally a place for people with an interest in all things Colorado to come, share their thoughts, comments, personal stories (like last week’s Open Thread from acpa) or ask questions about our square(ish) state. Contributions of diaries are always welcome.
Tonight’s diary consists of photographs from an outing I went on with some fellow members of the Estes Park Newcomer’s Group. We went in the early morning (6:30 AM!) into Rocky Mountain National Park to see what creatures were stirring. I confidently predicted seeing six moose, but we only saw four, which was still quite nice. In years past, the moose mainly were to be found on the west side of the Divide, but lately they’ve been moving more over to this side and we can hope to see some. I don’t know if the wildfires affected their location, but I feel confident in saying the new family of wolves on the northern side of the state hasn’t yet changed their habits. Anyway, please enjoy these photos — even the ones without moose.
Well, this type of morning is to be found at Rocky Mountain National Park by any one of the more than five million plus visitors who will be headed here — primarily before Labor Day.
