That's the western entrance area of Rocky Mountain NP, so you could just head up into the park and shoot to your heart's content. Or head south toward Winter Park and explore the Byers Peak area, Berthoud Pass, or better yet, just south of WP you'll find the western side of the Rollins Pass road. You can't take it all the way to the other side due to a long-ago tunnel collapse, but there's tons of great stuff to shoot up there.

Thanks, Todd. Are there wildflowers in the places you mentioned?

I guess it would be helpful to include things I like to photograph. In addition to flowers, I like lakes, streams, waterfalls, reflections.

Hi Barbara,
The Never Summer mountains are nearby, they are west as you head up the road into the Park, and they have an overabundance of all of the things you like to photograph :cool:
