Snow in May?

 It was time to head back to Rocky Mountain National Park before the summer crowds come.  There's a great little cabin I've stayed at before and luckily it had an open weekend, just before Memorial Day.  It's quite close to the park entrance so it makes it easy to come in and out of the park throughout the day, especially given the time entry hasn't started yet.  The Traveling Hillbilly had lots of moose sightings this trip, but most were from quite a distance.  It's still fun to sit and watch these creatures from afar.  Some people say they are majestic, I think they are more on the goofy, gangly side, but that makes them even more fun to watch!


Moseying along..


These were taken just as it was starting to snow.  Within 5 minutes of these being taken, the temperature dropped several degrees and the snow started to fall!  Decided it was time to leave the park and head back to the cabin  before the roads got slushy or icy.
