I was disappointed that I didn't see any bighorn sheep or mountain goats, but I did see lots of elk, which probably isn't a big deal to most of you, but it was for me... and few other things. Here are a few pics of wildlife I saw on my trip.

Elk



Chipmunk at the Dream Lake overlook on the Flattop Mountain trail


Coyote


He (or she) is a little hard to see, but there's a Pika in this picture


I'll have more when I get my film developed from my SLR. It has a stronger zoom so I used it several times with animals.

Any animal is always a big deal. Your pics are great, and they will bring back all kinds of memories for you.

No, but I see what appears to be a hand and lower forearm cut off from the rest of the body.
