RMNP - Old Falls River Road

Great drive up the old road to the Alpine Visitor Centre at the top. It's dirt and dusty all the way, first through forests, switchbacking up alongside the Fall River, then out into the high meadows at the top around every corner is another amazing view of the Rocky Mountains. Wildlife sightings - couple of big horn sheep, a herd of elk, chipmunks, ground squirrels, 5 Colorado red tailed hawks, brilliant blue stellar jay, ravens harassing pikas and other smaller birds.Read more
