It was interesting to find this large swampy field called "Big Meadow" way up above the main road of West RMNP. Unfortunately, there were no animals to be seen on this visit. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

big meadow, green mountain trail,

Part way up the Green Mountain Trail the woods opens up into a large meadow, simply known as "Big Meadow". This is a lush a peaceful place where elk graze and the silence can be heard. This shot was taken just before the arrival of an afternoon storm as the sky darkened and the colors came to life. Photo © by Erik Stensland.
