These were taken 11-25-06 on the east side of Medano Pass in the Sangre de Cristo range of southern Colorado. Great Sand Dunes National Park (or is that Monument?) is just over the mountain to the west about three miles as the crow flies, considerably more as the tired hiker plods.
We walked about four miles total at between 8500-9000 feet elevation. We left home at 10:30am and were back at 6pm. Good hike!
We saw about 60-70 elk, all cows, calves, and yearlings, right before we got back to the highway. It was a little to dark to take a good picture and they were standing in brush and trees that were almost their color, so I didnt’ get any shots of them.

hb,
Nice pics.
You have to compress the pics for people on dial ups to appreciate. "Infranview" is a free down load (google it) and most pics can be reduced below 50 kb. Reduce the size to 600 x 450 or so and you can imbed the pics in the text.
Once again, nice pics

700kb for the little one? I thought Imerc had you better-trained than that.

I'm sure I could drive there myself to take a look by the time I could download those pics on my dialup, at a blazing 44kbps.

I'm glad I've been over that way and don't have to download those.......
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

I like the pictures the size they are, makes it easy to see the detail.
But, I resized them for the dial-uppers.
Nice pictures, thanks!
