Elk takes a break at 12,000 feet

With the heat of summer here, many of the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park? have moved to higher – and cooler – ground. For a photographer, this is a great opportunity to get some pictures of them without having trees and other foliage in the way.

Here a bull rests in the early morning sun among grass and wildflowers while behind him, remnants of winter (snow) still linger of the slopes of a mountain.
