We walked around Lyons and Estes Park, shopping and eating yummy chocolate. And visiting all the wonderful Christmas shops in Estes!
As we drove into town we saw a bunch of elk in the lake there...
After a little bit the baby elk started running around, chasing each other...it was really cute...
After shopping around Estes we decided to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a really nice drive through the park, and of course saw tons of elk! No other animal, but lots of elk. Very beautiful views...
We ended up driving for over an hour in the park and rode up to a place called Bear Lake. It was really beautiful, but completely frozen over!
I'm standing beside the lake because the sign said thin ice, even though Will wanted me to walk out there!
Such a beautiful area!!!
So as we were driving out of the park we saw a ton of elk on the side of the road...there are just so many in that area!!!
We drove back through the town on our way back to Boulder and saw more elk just standing around in a parking lot in town! And then we saw them hanging out in the nearby park...
We had a wonderful Saturday with great weather!

Must be really cool to be able to walk around in the snow with shorts on !! What beautiful scenery you are experiencing! And I love seeing all these pictures. Do the elk run when humans come close or are you warned to stay away because they might attack you? Be sure and get back to me on this one !
