Colorado Photos Moraine Park Valley Rocky Mountain National Park
Colorado Photos Moraine Park Valley Rocky Mountain National Park. As we wrapped up our trip in and around Many Parks Curve we headed back down Trial Ridge Road. At a location just above Moraine Park we noticed the dramatic play of rolling clouds and light over the snowy Continental Divide. We hastily pulled over got our cameras and tripods with long lenses to capture the B&W images shown here. After we grabbed few frames we headed back down Trail Ridge Road and headed over to Moraine Park. The willows growing along the banks of the Big Thompson River still retain their fall colors even though it Spring time in Rocky. These photos taken from Trail Ridge Road and Moraine Park Valley in Rocky Mountain National Park were taken between 7:33am and 8:55am on May 10, 2019.
