I have a pass to the Rocky Mountain National park good to Nov. and I had to drop some stuff off to a customer in Estes Park before I head to Utah, so why in the heck wouldn't I head west through the park 
Pretty awesome drive it is. It's getting pretty busy with tourist now and I had to pretty much drive 30 mph all the way to Grand Lake, but I saw nothing wrong with that. Most the wildlife I saw was west of the continental divide. I saw elk a marmot, mama moose and her babe, and a rare for here osprey on a little island on Grand Lake. Going in to Steamboat Spgs. at the top of rabbit ears pass the thunderhead were sure cracking some spectacular bolts of lighting. The last picture is what it looks like under a thunder head drawing the warm air up into the stratosphere. I had to turn the heat up a bit on the pass. I'm thinking they'll be some wicked storms will form out on the eastern plains with this cold air flowing down from high in the Rockies tonight?

That photo of those clouds reminds me of the photo I took and posted a year or so ago.
