Deer in Rocky Mountain National Park

Last weekend while we were in Estes Park, we decided to drive into Rocky Mountain National Park to look for elk. It had decided to start snowing just as we went into the park. We saw a herd of female elk with one bull out in the snow. The snow quickly coated the trees and probably chased most of the animals under cover. The flurry lasted long enough that we decided to find dinner.

After dinner, we went back through the park since the snow had stopped. It was almost dark when we saw the deer near the road along with a dozen cars. The two bucks were hanging out on either side of a group of does. The camera really wanted more light.
