Sunset today in Glacier Basin, Rocky Mountain National Park, with the Continental Divide on the horizon.
Not a bad view, Colorado: Charlie doesn’t seem very impressed but.
In truth, the more I look at it, the more I can understand your pride in your (now) State. 🙂
I have done this so many times, in so many different places up here. It’s even better when clouds are playing on the peaks. Whoever this is, I felt an immediate kinship.
Oh you miserable bugger !! Heh heh – too smart for my own good. I now trudge off with my head hanging low. 🙂
Don’t feel bad. Australia is unique and fascinating. I’ve always wanted to visit. Once even halfway considered moving there.
what an amazing vantage point
The most amazing part is the solitude. This parking lot is usually pretty busy during the day. And in the distance, on the left, you can see the campground that’s there.
With the constant lines, it surprises me this person found this bit of solitude to soak in the beauty. (For an instant, thought you had caught me on camera– then remembered i was in the kiosk all day yesterday) Neat capture on the first sunny day in ages!
I was really amazed to see this person alone in an area that’s normally so busy. But s/he is obviously more aware and appreciative than the people over at that campground. THIS is what the park is all about, IMHO.
Yes, definitely. That is Glacier Basin CG in that left corner. With Moraine Park CG closed this year for repairs and some needed modernization, Glacier Basin is extra busy. Even after most all the mature trees were lost to beetle kill, the campers simply flock there
And moments like this can still be found.
I want to be there.
I know the feeling. Trust that those mountains and that meadow will be there whenever you manage to get there.
What an amazing view. Food for your soul. Thanks for sharing.
Aha, a new definition for “soul food”! I’d never thought of that. The mountains here have indeed always been soul food for me. Thank you! You just made my day. 🙂
Reminds me of the first ever time I saw the divide and the first time I crossed it. What an amazingly beautiful world you inhabit. Fantastic photo.
It’s just a screenshot from a webcam but I feel very lucky to have caught such a beautiful moment.
Thanks for sharing this amazing point.

I couldn’t post it fast enough!
Lucky person.
Indeed. Solitude can be hard to come by in the park, especially that close to a parking lot and campground.
