What yellow-bellied marmots do on a Friday at the top of Old Fall River Rd...

One of our favorite things to do in RMNP is to drive up Old Fall River Rd.  It is such a peaceful road and climbs from the thick forest to the alpine tundra.  Just before the summit, one passes by a "peak" called Marmot Point.  This year we decided to check it out. Well, it is safe to say it is well named!  Yellow-bellied marmots were everywhere!  Most were napping and the biggest one of them all showed us just how interesting he thought we were.  A big yawn!
