Happy hOWLoween 🦉 I was so thrilled to spot thi Happy hOWLoween 🦉 I was so thrilled to spot this “ghost of the forest” before the sun set on our last evening in Yellowstone a couple weeks ago. I have horrible owl luck, and great grays have evaded me every single time I’ve gone north. Hoping for more great gray ghost hauntings in the future. #greatgrayowl #happyhowloween

So ready to head back to wolf country next week. 🍂 This was from an encounter with the Junction Butte pack a couple years ago - an incredible morning with the entire pack of 35 members. 🐺 #wolves #relistwolves #yellowstonenationalpark

Trying desperately to savor these last days of gold. 🍂 #coloRADo #rockymountainnationalpark #fallorado #coloradogram #coloradotography #viewsfromcolorado #naturalcolorado #coloradophotography #trailrun #adventuregram #coloradomountains #wilderness #findyourpark #rmnp #exploremore #neverstopexploring #rockymountains #rockymountainhigh #coloradorockymountains
It’s been moody up here the past few days. Low h It’s been moody up here the past few days. Low hanging clouds, rain, wet foxes and elk, the last green leaves turning gold. I’m looking out the window as I type this at the peaks of the Continental Divide covered in a measurable blanket of snow. Fall and winter have no boundaries in #coloRADo. I hope you had a chance to enjoy our minute of fall in the high country. 🍂 ❄️
