May - A Wonderful Month in the Rockies!

May is a wonderful month, but the weather can be a bit challenging.  The snow storms aren't as common, but can still surprise you.  This photo is from Many Parks Curve on a foggy May morning.  Down low in the Estes Valley, the fog was amazingly thick, but the higher we drove, the more it broke.  We made it just in time for the sun to rise, lighting the top of that foggy layer and dusting the clouds with golden orange rays.  Just an hour later the foggy seas disappeared.
