On the first full day of summer, as the sun retreated and the sky glowed, a herd of elk grazed on the tundra, and the graceful silhouette of a bull elk came into view. I captured this quiet, memorable moment when we stopped for a sunset meal at 11,796 feet after a beautiful hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.
