Rocky Mountain National Park “Lakes and Meadows” Premier Tour with RMNPhotographer
The Clouds Hang Low as the Mountains Rise Above
Hazy mornings in RMNP can be spectacular. With the clouds floating down among mountain sides and snow-capped peaks rising above, an aura of mystical beauty that your eyes can’t help but breathe in is created. This is often the experience on the RMNPhotographer Lakes and Meadows Tour.
RMNPhotographer Tours starts in Horseshoe Park with a vision across the glacier meadow to the mountains rising up among the clouds. Created over 12,000 years ago by the last glacial period, the grassy meadow left behind from melted ice includes deep depressions called Sheep Lakes. Beyond the meadow, the mountains rise up to 12,183 ft in a dominating vision of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Often elk, moose, and bighorn sheep are present, the elk grazing on the rich grasses while moose wander into the lakes, feeding off the aquatic plants. At times the moose will splash in the lake, their heads rising up as water rains down off their antlers. And on special days, the bighorn sheep will venture down from the mountain to feed on the minerals oozing from the ground into the waters.
The
RMNPhotographer Lakes and Meadows Tour focuses on the lower elevations of RMNP traveling to:
- The Alluvial Fan, Horseshoe Falls, Hidden Valley and the breath-taking views from Many Parks Curve.
- Moraine Park and strolling around Sprague Lake with incredible views of the continental divide.
- Meadows where we seek wildlife including bighorn sheep, gentle deer, dynamic elk, and massive moose allowing you to capture magnificent photos.
- Bear Lake Road experiencing the incredible beauty of RMNP without high altitude travel.
The Inspiration of Sprague Lake
Sprague Lake is our favorite place in the park with a leisurely stroll around the calm waters to be inspired by the continental divide, Hallets Peak dominating the view. Often the clouds will hang down in the same mystical fashion seen in Horseshoe Park. Moose are often seen in the mountain lake waters where Canada geese and ducks paddle about and fishermen cast their fly fishing lines in hopes of a rainbow trout striking.
These are the experiences we have on our
