I first visited Rocky Mountain National Park 39 years ago. I was 21 years old. I had dropped out of college for the second time and had moved from Massachusetts to Colorado to work for the phone company and become a ski bum. It was also the beginning of an odyssey to find a place where I could be comfortable in my own skin.  That journey would take twenty years several countries and a multitude of states before I settled in Austin, Texas 18 years ago.

 

Returning to Rocky Mountain National Park after so many years I was concerned that it would not be as beautiful and mystical as I had perceived it in my youth. I may have changed considerably over the years but the park remains a place of incredible beauty and peace. I hope you enjoy the photos.
