Rocky Mountain National Park in the fall

I was bored so I drove up to RNP to see some of the leaves changing. I also came across a herd (I guess they are called a herd?) of elk, which included a loud male elk showing off his bugle. I can see a need for a 400mm or 500mm lense with some of this nature stuff. I don't mind photographing nature or animals, but landscapes are so bloody boring.... Unless you have some great lighting, or fog, or anything to give the picture a little extra punch, Yuk. I managed to get a few good shots, but it was in the middle of the day, so everything is just kind of plain.....
