We stayed close to home this weekend with a return trip to Rocky
Mountain National Park (RMNP). The highlight of the
weekend was an encounter with a friendly, photogenic moose that seemed
to enjoy (or at least tolerate) lots of camera-happy tourists. The monsoon rains started a little
earlier than expected this year and caught us by surprise leaving us
nearly rain-soaked on a couple outings. No complaints here though;
the rain was a welcome relief to the dry, tinder box conditions that
have been plaguing the Colorado high country.
