Images of Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado taken in July 2011.

I spent only a half day driving through the park as the weather was less than desirable, particularly at one of the more scenic spots in the park near the Alpine Visitor Center, where low clouds and sporadic rain took away what are usually spectacular mountain vistas. The highlight of my stay came when I ran across a moose feeding along a mountain river in the lowlands on the west side of the park.
