Berthoud Pass, Colorado

At 11,315 feet Berthoud Pass is getting up there (pardon the pun). As you go over the pass from the South (on US 40) you head down into the ski resort town of Winter Park. But, before you get to Winter Park, maybe a mile or so from the pass there is a small pond on the East side of the highway. You have to look through the trees (when possible) to see if anything, okay Moose, are feeding. And, voila! There was a Cow teaching her two calves how to eat underwater vegetation:

But, ten or so cars. Of course the first one there gets the best angle and view. I took quite a number of photos and then kindly relinquished my spot to someone else wanting to get a good view. Here are a couple more:
