Last Saturday we drove up to Estes Park and Trail Ridge Road (the part that was still open, anyway). No, this isn't the road.

A huge herd of Elksen were out; this is probably a 1/4 of them. (And yes, they are elksen. It's a special breed of elk that only I can identify.)

There were some great views.

But... we quickly got tired of the scenery and built a snowman.

Let that be a lesson to you to always keep vegetable trays in your cars. You never know when you're going to need tomato snowman eyeballs.
