From Grand Lake the road heads north and
then cuts east to Estes Park. The northernly portion is in the
wide valley carved by the headwaters of the great Colorado River.
(The river later carves out the Grand Canyon on its march to the
Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean.)
This shot of the Colorado valley (from
the Bowen / Baker trailhead) shows the expanse and the grasslands
where lots of elk and moose like to graze. |
