Mountaintop marmot hanging out

August 1, 2022 by Tony

Mountaintop marmot hanging out

One for Marmot Monday. Certainly summertime temperatures at 14,000 feet of 42 degrees are mild compared to what these guys endure in the winter. Nevertheless, they do seem to enjoy the relative warmth, oftentimes just hanging out and seeming to sunbathe on the rocks. This guy had a nice spot to perch, high on a boulder with stunning views of the Mount Evans Wilderness all around.
