Took a short hike to Emerald Lake...on the way were two other lakes. This one is Nymph.
Down in the valley a river winds its way through a meadow.
A stop along the way gives us a view of snow still left on the Rockies.
As we were leaving the center, a herd of elk that had come up for some heat relief were grazing in the tundra. This guy was 5 feet from our window. How could I resist?
12,005 feet. . . it was cold and windy.
At Alpine Visitor Center, you can hike up to the highest point in the park.
