travelers stories about Waterfall in Alberta Falls, United States

Waterfall in Alberta Falls, United States

If you ever have the opportunity to make it up to Rocky Mountain National Park just outside of Denver you will not regret it. My wife and I took a short 6.4 mile hike to see four different lakes and this waterfall (Alberta Falls) starting at the Bear Lake Trailhead. Excellent way to spend a day. This area of our stunning planet will remind you what an breathtaking place we inhabit.

I took this shot while we were driving down trail ridge road in the Rocky Mountain National Park. To take this I was actually standing on the center console of our car and was sticking out of the sun roof.

Wildlife in Estes Park, United States

  13 km from Colorado


I spotted this beautiful bird in Estes Park outside Rocky Mountain National Park while my photo guide was driving us around in his Santa Fe. I was lucky enough to get the bird’s eye in sharp focus and keep the long lens still enough to capture this image from hanging out the car window. We saw such beautiful scenes and animals during our visit that I’m happy to share with the Unsplash community.

Driving through Rocky Mountain State Park outside of Denver, Colorado. Couldn’t have asked for a better pose from this big Daddy Buck. I was hoping for a surprise late in the day and got it. Driving along the road, there he was. I jumped out and got one of those rare shots. He looked up just in time as I clicked away.

Mountain range in Estes Park, United States

  13 km from Colorado


Recently my family and I took a trip to Colorado to relive our days when we were a kid. We used to go there every summer and do the same activities and visit the same places each time. Eventually we grew out of it and started going to different places. 7 years later from the last time we went to Colorado, we decide to go again and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. We had a blast and I was able to get some pretty cool pictures along the way as a bonus. This picture brings back so many memories with or me with my family and gives me a sense of peace and relaxation.

This photo has no story, not for the shot. I was on the way through Rocky Mountain National Park when I saw this from the car window and I snapped a few shots. The interesting part of this is photo is the editing. Originally two photos with a bunch of water in the foreground, this photo was radically transformed. It’s not something I do very often but I thought a lot about this photo. I also tried a lot of different things. After leaving the photo and coming back to it, inspiration from this very site, and lot’s of versions I ended up with this.

travelers stories about Ocean in Red Rock Lake, United States

Ocean in Red Rock Lake, United States

  27 km from Colorado


Hiked in from the winter lot through some deep drifts and walked out on the frozen lake, sat on my pack, and waited for the colors to come. Was freezing cold, but totally worth it. Living at sea level and hiking in at 10,000ft winded me pretty badly, but I was glad my flight got moved one day back so I could capture this.

Despite the full moon, we enjoyed tremendous stargazing in Indian Peaks Wilderness, near Nederland, Colorado. We sat for about 1.5 hours to look at Devil’s Thumb (on the left) and the North Star for this photograph. Elevation about 11,000 feet.

travelers stories about Mountain in Boulder, United States

Mountain in Boulder, United States

  46 km from Colorado


This was in Boulder on a bitter winter’s morning. I had literally just got my first full-frame camera the day before (Canon 6D) and this was my first opportunity to take some pictures. I was up early and walked across the railroad tracks (or railway line as we say here in Britain!). It took me a while to realise the train was approaching sufficiently slowly that I could stand on the tracks safely and get some shots. I love the Rocky mountains rising out of the mist.

travelers stories about Nature reserve in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, United States

Nature reserve in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, United States

  56 km from Colorado


Rock climbing is one of the toughest activities to photograph. Finding unique perspectives is often challenging without fixing ropes to get above the climber. When the opportunity presented itself to shoot this route in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Colorado I had to jump on it. After scrambling to the top of an adjacent cliff I was able to gain enough elevation to get this shot of my friend sending the route!

travelers stories about Forest in Breckenridge, United States

Forest in Breckenridge, United States

  70 km from Colorado


I was driving from Breckenridge back to Denver and saw this beautiful landscape and pulled over to the side of the road, hopped out of the car and snapped a few photos. I decided to leave this one unedited with the exception of cropping just a tad. The beauty of the mountains (that I had never seen before) was overwhelming, and the way this storm was setting in right below the peaks really made this trip something special.

travelers stories about Wildlife in Evergreen, United States

Wildlife in Evergreen, United States

  81 km from Colorado


My wife and I went to Denver for our honeymoon. While on a hike with friends, we went off the trail to get back to our car. On our way, we saw this fawn resting and stopped to get a few shots of this precious creature. This was the closest that I got to the fawn. Once we got in the car, we saw the mother deer resting across the road. In case you were wondering, if you see a fawn in the woods that looks alone, don’t touch it. The mother will return, the fawn is not abandoned, and the fawn is safe. Fawns do not have a scent that predators can smell, and they remain still.

Once I was stranded in the Denver airport for 2 days on account of a winter storm in NYC. In the meantime I got together with a buddy and we hiked Mount Bierstadt, one of Colorado’s easier 14ers in the Summer, but one of the hardest I’ve climbed with the added winter elements. This photo is a visual of making the most of a mega bummer.
