More pics from 12000 feet (RMNP)

Inside the gift shop at the top - cute moose with O2 tank. We actually saw a guy suffering from altitude sickness while up there (it is a real thing - can be pretty scary!) - the park rangers realized he was sick even though his wife was over shopping, unaware. I hope I will always recognize if Jon gets sick!

Jon was super-excited to use his GPS - it was very accurate in the elevation!
Gorgeous mountains!
There's less oxygen this high up - Jon and I were slow-going on this hike.
Elk!!
Jon's shoe made a sound and the elk suddenly raised his head directly at Jon - he looked rather annoyed that his snacking was interupted.
Still staring at Jon (who is just a tad concerned about how large and close the elk was).
The elk noticed me too - look how fuzzy those antlers are! =)
