We learned pretty quick that if you want to be alone or with as little people as possible in Rocky Mountain National Park, you have to get there early. By mere luck we made it to the park on the last day before daylight savings, so we got to see the latest sunrise of the season. On this particular trip, we didn't have much of a plan; we just wanted to be out here. We started off watching the sun rise at Sheep Lake. We were there all alone for most the morning minus one car that stopped by for a couple of quick snaps. 

Later we moved along and made our way up Ridgeline Road. It would close soon, so we thought we would make the most of it is open. We pulled over at a random pull out and decided to start hiking. All we could see was the void over a hill that would be a valley and the promise of great views. 

The scale of these mountains and this park always impressed me. How large it is and how little you can drive. I like that and hate it all the same. It's nice that there are still areas seemingly untouched only for the dedicated hikes to view, while there also being so much to see from the road.
