I spent most of my Sunday in the Front Range, in a little town called "Ault". It's located in Weld County, Colorado. The area is rural. The picture above is from a sheep farm. There were hundreds of sheep outside.
I returned to Rocky Mountain National Park on Friday, October 9th 2009. The weather was pretty nice, so I decided to take the longer route by traveling through Big Thompson Canyon. The last time I drove through it, I spotted some Big Horned Sheep; I was fortunate enough to see some again during Friday's trip. When I got to the park, the temperature dipped. It was sunny and warm in Denver, but in the park, it was snowy and cold.
Every year, the city of Estes Park hosts an event called "Elk Fest". It's a celebration of the area's elk population. On the final day of "Elk Fest", I was sent to Estes Park to report on a large herd of Elk near the city's 18-hole golf course. You can watch the story by clicking here.
After spending 25 years in Northern New York, I decided to pack my bags and head West...to Denver, Colorado. This blog will feature pictures from the Centennial State and other areas I travel to.
