Day 35 continued:
Rocky Mountain National Park has many, many wonderful views. Here is a rain storm over the ridge:
Just east of the Alpine Visitor Center, I spotted several Rock Sheep laying down about 10 feet from the edge of the road. Their coloration makes them blend into the rocky terrain very effectively:
As we descended from the peak we found a large group of Elk on the snow near the edge of the road. I counted a 45 Elk in all. Some were on the snow and some were below the snow edge:
The many areas of remaining snow causes a lot of small waterfalls that overflow the road edge:
We left the National Park and went to a large YMCA Recreation Area near Estes Park to attend a Ford Family Reunion(my Mother's side of the family). One of the mandatory events of our reunions is to get a photo of the Five Voter Brothers in chronological order:

As the festivities continued, Lyndi got a neat picture just after sunset:
