Thanks Jim, I promised you I would do this two years ago but I kept missing the Trailridge Road opening. This was, I think, 1 week after it opened.

Interesting, I've been calling them by the wrong name for 50+ years. I do appreciate the correction.

Hey Sarge,

I wasn't going to say anything but I believe John is right. I used to work for RMNP and have hiked almost every trail multiple times for work, a lot of times with a chainsaw over one shoulder and a shovel in my other hand. I have also spent lots of time there just for fun. I had never heard of that kind of pine in the Park. Love the photos though. I recognize a lot of places in your shots: Longs Peak, Trail Ridge, Moraine Park. All beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories from my youth :-)
Here is a link to info on trees in the park.

If you have more from up there post them. I'd love to see them. :-)

As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never be pointing the wrong direction

WOW! I was just looking at some of your photos of the south pole. Whats the story behind those? Those are awesome. The last photo is of multiple markers with the American flag. Are those the markers for the south pole over the years and how much it moves?
I'm looking forward to looking at more of your photos :-)

Very fun. Thanks for sharing :-) You have some nice shots. The couple Bull elk shots reminded me of something.

Quite often we would be asked questions by tourists. My favorite two were, "what time does the mountain close?" and "When do deer turn into elk?" It was amazing how often those questions would come up, along with some other strange ones. One day we saw a very large buck (deer) standing on the edge of a heard of cow elk. We all thought it was a bit strange because he was so close. One of he guys I worked with pointed to the buck and very excitedly said, "Look! He's getting ready to turn into an elk." We all got a good laugh.
Anyhow, thanks for the link and sharing.

I found an old photo of me working up there. This is of Sprague Lake the year we made it handicap accessible. I'm the young guy on the right. And yes, for those of you who know me, I did have hair once :-p

For 10 years, ending in 2000, I worked for ASA (Antarctic Support Associates), ASA was the primary contractor supporting US Research stations in Antarctica. One of those stations is Amunson-Scott South Pole Station

Exactly, the pole is on over 9,000 feet of glacial ice, the ice moves fairly consistantly in one direction (North :)). Those pics were taken in 1993 as I recall with a Pentax K1000 and Fujicrome (bad choice).
