We spent our last day at Rocky Mountain National Park hiking and chasing wildlife. We got lucky this day – the sky cleared up and we enjoyed sunshine for the day. There were lots of elk in the park, and we would occasionally see moose in the meadows/trees.

There are many trails in the park to hike, and we chose to hike the Cub Lake trail. Along the way we stopped by Fern Falls and had a “quick” photo session. 🙂

At the conclusion of our time in the park, we were rewarded with a rare sight – a newborn baby elk (just 5 hours old!) learning to walk and getting its first feeding. Pretty cool!

Before heading back to the airport we stopped by Boulder to have dinner at Avery Brewing Co and filled our tummy with delicious BBQ. Mmmm!
