A couple weeks ago, I spotted this guy grazing down in a low area as I was driving in RMNP and pulled over to try to get some pics, I was able to get some pics as he crossed the road. I also saw a small moose, but was unable to get a decent picture of it.

Yes. And I actually saw another bull that was at least as big just a short way down the road, but I could only really get a butt shot of him.

Nice shot of the elk. I'll bet the park was packed!

Thanks, it wasn't that crowded on Hwy 34, which is on the north side. I was able to pull over in a driveway and get some shots with hardly any other cars passing by.
