I was remembering my first trip to the top of Mt.Evans — before the visitor center burned. My uncle drove me directly there from Stapleton Airport when I arrived from the East Coast. I jumped out of his Jeep at the top to head to the visitors’ center and experienced altitude sickness fore the first time! Felt like I’d smoked some kind of funny weed.

There are usually bighorn sheep and mountain goats up there, especially in the fall. Hope you saw some up close and personal.

Hi Michele,

I bet it was a bit chilly and windy up there today. Thanks for the comment,

Ron

This is a stunning photo. I was just there today, and took an almost identical shot. I wanted some references/comparisons to mine. I have a pathetically simple, but functional, point and shoot camera. I don’t know how to work a complicated camera and with two small children, there isn’t much time to learn that right now. But I love looking at better versions of the pictures I take so I make sure I have it semi-right! Thanks for posting, this is just great.

Maybe you don’t exist Chris LOL. Yeah, I’m bad about posing for photos as well, but it is nice to have both versions. Thanks.

That is very nice. I always forget to put myself in photos! My wife teases me that there is no proof that I actually exist, just where I have been!

I agree Gary – that wake up alarm is “work”! But, once the light starts to appear, I forget all about it and the fun begins.

Thanks Dennis. You should have a great trip, I love Yellowstone this time of year. Have fun with your new camera.

Hi Richard – I didn’t feel sick, but I did start to get a little bit of a headache.

lol. Too funny Ron. Did you get sick from the altitude once you winded?

Beautiful place and capture Ron, heading back to Yellowstone tomorrow to see if we can find some big bulls in the rut and hopefully find some more bears. Also picked up a new camera this week. Nikon’s new D300 S

Nice, even if you’re not ‘pretty’.

Btw, my saying is, “When the alarm goes off in your tent at 4:00am, it’s work, dammit!”

Thanks! That alarm was a bit painful this morning, but I think it was worth it!
