American Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36.
In the park during the early-autumn mating season, large herds of American Elk congregate on the grassy plains of the Moraine Park and Horseshoe Park areas, as well as along the banks of the Big Thompson River. While often seen in the distance, elk herds occasionally wander close to the park roads, and clusters of parked automobiles always indicate prime roadside viewing locations.
During the mating season, a harem of female elk cows cluster around a single dominant male bull elk, who busily fends off younger bulls, as well as keeping the cows in a compact herd. While guarding a harem of female elk, a bull elk patrols with nostrils flared and an open mouth ---- ever sensitive to odors. Periodically, a successful bull elk also generates a shrill bellowing cry of the wild, to impress the harem and to ward off other unattached bull elk.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5.
Rainbow Curve is one of my favorite overlooks. It has some of the best views of the park.
What you can see (Horseshoe Park):
The distinctive fan of light-colored boulders on the left of this picture is a relatively new feature on the land. A high mountain dam failed on July 15, 1982, and in a matter of hours the water violently disgorged it load on the valley floor.
What you can see from Rainbow Curve:
1 Mount Chapin (12,454)
2 Mount Chiquita (13,069)
3 Ypsilon Mountain (13,514)
4 Mount Fairchild (13,502)
5 Hagues Peak (13,560)
6 Mommy Mountain (13,425)
7 Roaring River
8 Bighorn Mountain (11,463)
9 McGregor Mountain (10,456)
10 Deer Mountain (10,013)
“Rainbow Curve, 12.8 miles from the Beaver Meadows park entrance, lies on the outside edge of a wide switchback on Trail Ridge Road as it swings around a blunt ridge between Hidden Valley and Hanging Valley. This major viewpoint at 10,829 feet is just below timberline, the transition zone between a subalpine fir and spruce forest and the alpine tundra of grass and delicate wildflowers. The vista looks down on Horseshoe Park, an open grassy valley floored by twisting Fall River. Note the light-colored alluvial fan on the north side of the park. It formed in 1982 when Lawn Lake, a small reservoir in the Mummy Range, broke after heavy rain. A deluge of water, boulders, and debris swept down into the valley.”
Just beyond the flower covered meadow lies Forest Canyon and the Continental Divide with Mount Ida. This picture, taken at high noon, shows the problem of photograph trees at this time of day. Photographs taken in the early morning or late afternoon would render the trees a truer green.
Tundra Protection Area
Hundreds of feet cause damage that takes hundreds of years to restore.
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL!
The Glacial Landscape
Like other high mountain valleys, Forest Canyon was filled with ice and shaped by glaciers during the past two million years. Here, ice flowed through a stream valley and followed the straight line of the ancient faults. Side valleys contributed their own rivers of ice, and carved the canyons of Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes The Rolling terrain of the high country was untouched by glacial ice.
What you can see:
1 Longs Peak (14,255)
2 Stones Peak (12,922)
3 Spraque Mountain(12,713)
4 Hayden Spire
5 Hayden Gorge
6 Terra Tomah (12,718)
7 Mt Ida
8 Gorge Lakes

scenic views of Horseshoe Park area of Rocky Mountain National Park
These are some mountain and meadow views of the Horseshoe Park area in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was one of our favorite areas of the whole park. We saw a fair number of elk in 2014 but very few Big Horn Sheep. In 2008, we saw a lot more sheep than in 2014. These views were filmed in mid-June of 2014.
Roaring River, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, United States
Roaring River, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA 2005 - Horseshoe
The Roaring River is a 6.5-mile-long (10.5 km) tributary of the Fall River in Larimer County, Colorado. The river's source is Crystal Lake in the Mummy Range of Rocky Mountain National Park The river flows through Lawn Lake before a confluence with the Fall River in Horseshoe Park. The collapse of the Lawn Lake Dam in 1982 scoured the river's channel and deposited an alluvial fan of debris in Horseshoe Park.

Rocky Mountains Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about nature park Rocky Mountains in the USA.
The Rocky Mountains National Park is one of the most unique and impressive natural paradises in the United States Of America. It covers an area of a thousand square kilometres and was inaugurated in 1915.The picturesque Bear Lake lies within a forested area and is one of the most popular tourist destinations of the park. At high altitude, several paths such as the Nature Trail lead through the lake’s natural landscape. The idyllic beauty is truly spellbinding and it is not surprising that Bear Lake is the most popular photo shot of the entire park. It was discovered that twelve thousand years ago prehistoric Indians hunted within the Rocky Mountains. The legendary culture of the Nasazi Indians originated around two thousand years ago and left its traces in what is today the national park. Alberta Falls in the south of Glacier Gorge is one of the park’s most popular sightseeing destinations where white masses of foaming water race down several levels into the valley below. The road from Glacier Gorge winds its way in a northerly direction past Glacier Basin and the eastern park entrance close to Estes Park. In this region the Rocky Mountains are at their most beautiful and the landscape in the area of Horseshoe Park is reminiscent of the exciting and colourful Wild West of old. The vast wilderness in the west of the USA has survived in the Rocky Mountains right up to the present day and is a fascinating tribute to the amazing natural world of North America.

Colorado Centennial 13ers - Horseshoe Mountain
- GAIA GPS discounts for subscribers
On Monday, March 20th, we decided to head out to the Mosquito Range and climb the East Slopes of Centennial 13er Horseshoe Mountain. Horseshoe Mountain stands at 13,898' and is located right near 14er Mount Sherman. Once we reached the saddle, we also decided to do some extra credit and summit Peerless Mountain which is an unranked 13er.

2.) Colorado 13ers -
The whole trip was right around 11.6 miles and 3,210 feet of gain. The road leading up to the trailhead was covered with snow and we had to park at mile marker #7 and walk up the road 2.2 miles to get to the actual trailhead which added 4.4 miles round trip. This was a very steady and mellow climb and I highly recommend it for those of you looking for an intro Centennial hike.

Ouzel Falls, Rocky Mountain National Park
On a warm, March day, Dianna and I hiked on some snowy and icy trails along Ouzel Creek to Copeland Falls, Calypso Falls and Ouzel Falls. Aong the way, a blue jay kept us company. On the drive up, we saw Big Horn Sheep and on the way back, many herd of elk.
Explore Colorado: Best spots to check out the elk
The elk rut season draws huge crowds in September and October in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. November is also a great time for elk viewing without the crowds. The golf course in Estes Park is a popular spot to see elk. In Rocky Mountain National Park, you want to look in the meadows. Keep your distance from elk. They are wild animals, even ones like “Brat” who is often seen at McGregor Mountain Lodge on Fall River Road. If you can see the nostrils flare, hear them gritting their teeth, or especially if the hair on the back of their neck stands on end, you are in their space and too close.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates there are 2300 elk in Estes Park with a bull to cow ratio of 45 bulls for every 100 animals. Rocky Mountain National Park estimates 600-800 elk in winter. Rocky Mountain National Park is monitoring the impacts on the winter range and impacts of the elk on aspens and willow vegetation. The elk population is a lot higher in summer in the park.
Original homesteaders depleted the elk population in the late 1800s. The elk population was gone by 1880. Spearheaded by Pieter Hondius Sr, with some financial backing from F.O. Stanley, elk re-introduced to Estes Park in 1913 when 25 elk were transported from Yellowstone National Park. In 1915, right before Rocky Mountain National Park was established, 24 more elk were added.
Rocky Mountain National Park is celebrating its 100th anniversary next year.

Rocky Mountain National Park - Fall River Rd Timelapse
Old Fall River Road earned the distinction of being the first auto route in Rocky Mountain National Park offering access to the park's high country. In the minds of many park visitors, the relatively subtle old route remains foremost. Unlike Trail Ridge Road, which is well known for being the highest continuous paved road in the nation, the Old Fall River Road is a much more motor nature trail.
Primarily gravel, one-way uphill and punctuated by switchbacks, slower-paced, 11-mile-long. The old road quietly leads travelers from Horseshoe Park (a short distance west of the Fall River Entrance) through the park's wilderness to Fall River Pass, 11,796 feet above sea level. The journey to the alpine world at the top of Old Fall River Road is relaxing. The experience is one to be savored. The posted speed limit is 15 miles per hour, a clear indication that a journey up Old Fall River Road is not for the impatient. There are no guard rails along this road. The road itself is safe, but narrow and curved. In places, the trees of the montane and subalpine forests are so close that motorists can touch them. Old Fall River Road is ideal for visitors seeking to become intimate with nature. The road follows a route traveled long ago by Indian hunters, who came to the park area in search of its abundant game. Early in the trip, travelers pass the alluvial fan scoured out by the 1982 Lawn Lake Flood and the site of a labor camp that housed state convicts who worked on the road project. For these men, crime did not pay. The laborers were forced to build the three-mile stretch of road to the scenic respite of Chasm Falls with no more than hand tools at their disposal. After passing Willow Park, where elk often are seen feeding on the foliage, the road enters the alpine tundra. Awaiting there is the Fall River Cirque, birthplace of glaciers that once worked their way up and down the mountain valleys. The road traverses the headwall of this amphitheater-like formation before joining Trail Ridge Road near the Alpine Visitor Center at Fall River Pass. Ahead lie the wonders of Trail Ridge Road, which leads travelers east to Estes Park or southwest to Grand Lake. Behind is Old Fall River Road, that winding old route that offers travelers a taste of auto travel in days gone by and a look at Rocky Mountain's nature close-up. Old Fall River Road
Advisory Note: OLD FALL RIVER ROAD WILL BE CLOSED IN 2014.
Endovalley Road and Old Fall River Road are open to pedestrian traffic only. The Roaring River Bridge is washed out, so visitors must cross through the stream - caution is advised and the water is COLD! Bicycles and pets on leashes are not permitted past the barricade on the road.
The Old Fall River Road was the only road to Fall River Pass until Trail Ridge Road was built in the early 1930s. Today it is a one-way dirt road that runs between Endovalley and the Pass. It is narrow and has many switchbacks, but it is a beautiful and safe drive.

The New Alluvial Fan 2013. Rocky Mountain National Park.
As a result of the Colorado Flood of 2013, the Alluvial Fan on the Endovalley road in RMNP has been completely redesigned and Roaring River basin relocated. The road is out. If not for the 1982 earthen dam failure at Lawn Lake, the devastation to this area and the Town of Estes Park may have been considerably more destructive. The Flood of 2013 was the size of Connecticut. Estes Park received 11 inches of rain .. Boulder received 16 inches. The soundtrack was composed and performed by me.
