Image: Trail Ridge Road
Location: Rocky Mountain National Park
Agency: National Park Service

I captured this photo by mounting my GoPro on my kayak rack and positioning it to capture the sweeping vistas and long curves of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. This is the highest continuously paved road in the United States, going above 11,000 feet over the Continental Divide. Elk, pika, and marmot are common sights along the way.
