A chilly day spent in Rocky Mountain National Park. Went all the way up Trail Ridge, above 12,000 feet, where the wind was whipping and a light snow was blowing at this high altitude.     After coming back down through Moraine Park, the magic light began to happen.

   A four day adventure up to the Northwest corner of Wyoming. Spend time exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.  Camping was chilly. Saw a couple of wolves in Yellowstone, along with a few grizzlies, eagles and thousands of bison.

   A return trip to capture sunrise at RMNP. I hiked part of the way up Green Mountain to get a grand view of “The Diamond” on Longs Peak.  An amazing sight when the morning light hits.  Several inches of fresh snow had covered everything in the park the night before.

   The snow was deep as I scrambled up the north side of the slope to get a high angle above Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I had spend several hours shooting around the lake as well as in other areas of the park. As the sun was getting low, I came upon this coyote making his way near Moraine Park.
