I've been over Trail Ridge Road many times in the past but have never seen the logs on the Alpine Visitor Center roof. Do you know if these are put up at the end of the season before the Center closes or are they a permanent fixture that has been recently added? Loved the pictures. Rocky is my favorite park in the system. Thanks.

Wow that looks like a great trip! That KOA in Buena Vista looks pretty nice (for a KOA).

I love Trail Ridge, it stays high up for quite a while. Looks like you had great fun and went at a good time, got lots of nice pics.

I thought the same thing about that photo.That KOA in Buena Vista looks pretty nice (for a KOA).

Thanks for all the postive feedback - it will keep me travelling, photographing, and posting trip reports!
The ranger said the main rut lasts about 2 weeks. Then about 10 days after that there is another mini rut for the cows who got missed the first time around. He said the impregnation rate is almost a 100% for a cow thats mated.Do you know how long the Elk rut for?
Don't know on that one. We went over about 4 years ago and I thought they were there then, but I may be mistaken. They don't look like something they would take off during the summer, looked pretty permanant to me. They can get strong winds in the summer as well as the winter, so think the logs do their thing year round.I've been over Trail Ridge Road many times in the past but have never seen the logs on the Alpine Visitor Center roof. Do you know if these are put up at the end of the season before the Center closes or are they a permanent fixture that has been recently added?
