"One of the national park’s most popular roadside pull-off spots, Moraine Park opens up to an expansive viewing space (also check out Horseshoe Park and Sheep Lakes) and affords the ideal, safe spot to witness large herds of elk, hear them bugle and gather harems of female cows. You may even glimpse bighorn sheep, ptarmigan and coyotes here. If you time it just right, an autumn trifecta comes together with the elk rut, peaking gold aspen trees and crisp Colorado bluebird skies."

"Whether you're passing through on a Colorado road trip or hunkering down for a few days, Moraine is one of those places you can't miss when you visit Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk graze in this vast meadow surrounded by glacier-hewn peaks. At sunrise, the mountains gleam and the winding Big Thompson River glitters in the light."

"Drive the Peak to Peak Scenic Highway (Hwy. 7) between Meeker and Allenspark and look for signs to this tucked-away corner of the national park. You’ll find numerous trailheads to iconic hikes, like Ouzel Falls and Calypso Cascades, and will quickly agree with historic naturalist Enos Mills’ description of the area: “the land of many waters.” For the ultimate wildflower spectacle, hike around Bluebird Lake in July and August."
