Summary:
The next up on my tour of the geology of the National Parks in pictures is:Rocky Mountain National ParkFor our travels through Rocky Mountain NP, I have a lot of scenery photos, but not much in the way of strictly geological photos. It was mostly a scenic drive through the park. Also it has been a while since I was actually there so my remembrance of the features may be a bit hazy.Obligatory entrance signPanorama of some mountains. Ok, I really don't remember what this was for. But it's rocks. View from the visitors center. Mountains More mountains I believe this is the same valley you can see from the visitors center. Yay, some geology. This is a cirque. Another cirque Some cirques, glaciers, tarns, and probably an arête (or a few). An edge of a cirque A paternoster lake, perhaps? Gotta love the continental divide. And of course, more mountains.Content analysis:
