Rocky Mountain National Park

The wind in Rocky Mountain National Park was quite formidable. A few times, I had to brace myself to regain my footing. 

As a result, the highest part of the park, Trail Ridge Road, was closed. But we were able to see quite a lot from the open sections. 

Here the wind blows around the powder on top of one of Colorado's many fourteeners, far above the treeline. Soon after taking this shot, Pat and I went snowshoeing for a few miles near Bear Lake.
