FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY!! - The Ute Trail

Taken August 16, 2024

Along the crest of Rocky Mountain National Park, the Ute Trail snakes above the treeline across the tundra. Windswept views for miles entertain visitors, anchored by rock outcroppings, tarns leftover from the snow, chirping marmots, the occasional struggling fir tree, and all manner of grasses and flowers trying to gain purchase in the shallow soil.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!
