Beautiful Drive

I was in the area for a limited time so I mostly stayed in the eastern part of the park and only got as far west as the Milner Pass area, but the portion I did see was beautiful. I was there in September at the height of the elk rutting season and had the opportunity to see lots of wildlife. There are plenty of hiking trails of varying difficulty and numerous scenic overlooks along the roads. Definitely drive the dirt Old Fall River Road. Most people won’t bother, so you’ll have a much less crowded journey and see things from a different perspective. It’s amazing to see how the landscape changes as you climb in elevation. Almost as amazing as the view are the cyclists who brave all the hills.
