Moraine Park

USA / Colorado / Estes Park /

Rocky Mountain National Park

Valley carved by mountain glaciers during the last ice age. A picturesque meadow with meandering streams and a few hillocks. The edges are bordered by tree-covered glacial sediments (moraines). It is great place to view the mountains, and to watch hundreds of elk. Just watch your step, since the area is saturated with elk droppings.
