Coyotes in RMNP

Doug and Elise came out to visit this past weekend and we took them to RMNP. The snow was falling so low that we couldn't see any of the larger peaks, but instead we got this treat:

Not as cool as a wolf sighting, but still pretty neat to run into this only a hundred yards from the road.
