[Gallery] 10 Animals You Can See at Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most beautiful, exciting places I've ever seen in my life.

I will admit, I'm not a Colorado native. So, the first time I took a drive up to "see the elk" in Estes Park I was absolutely blown away. I grew up in a tiny town in Washington State on the side of Mt. St. Helens and I've never, ever experienced as much wildlife (in 20 years) as I have in one year here in Colorado.
