The Many Parks Curve at Rocky Mountain National Park

Looking around the bend yesterday morning towards 14,000 ft Longs Peak in the distance.

During the winter months Trailridge Road closes here at the Many Parks Curve and offers a great vantage point of many peaks for winter photography. The parks refer to the numerous glacier-formed mountain parks contained within Rocky Mountain National Park, such as Moraine and others.

Addendum: As I was uploading this the phone rang with news my grandfather has just passed on in his sleep. Peace be with you Gerald, we love you so much.
