  4. Horseshoe Park as viewed from Rainbow Curve in Rocky Mountain National Park. Beautiful examples of meandering river features are present along the course of the Fall River. The alluvial fan that resulted from the Lawn Lake flood is also visible left of the center of the image.

  9. A closer view of the folded schists exposed in a roadcut in lower Big Thompson Canyon, east of Estes Park, Colorado. Edi and Berti make another cameo for scale - see if you can find them. For a wider view of this area see: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=5433
