A Day at Rocky Mountain National Park

We headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday to check out the aspens and the elk.  It is "Elk Mating" season, so we were hoping to get a good look at a herd and hear some "bugling" (their mating call).  We didn't hear any bugling, but we got an awesome view of a young herd.  We also checked out Sprague Lake and Bear Lake.
