About the Author Erik Stensland was born in Minnesota in 1968 but moved many times before he was 18. His first real memories are from the mountains outside of Helena, Montana, where at ages 5 and 6 he would spend his days hiking through the forest, exploring miles of mountain terrain around his house. Everywhere he moved he was drawn to the natural world, spending his days creating his own secret trails up to the top of nearby hills or climbing a tree to get a better view. His junior high and high school years were spent cycling throughout the countryside where he could enjoy quiet and beautiful views. Throughout Erik’s life, the beauty of nature has called to him. After college Erik moved overseas, living in Austria, Bulgaria, Albania, and Kosovo. He met his wife, Joanna, in Austria and they spent over a decade working with the Albanian people, doing everything from creating an ecotourism program, teaching English, assisting local artists, starting a refugee agency, helping local churches meet the needs of their society, and many other projects. After suffering severe burnout, Erik and Joanna moved to Colorado in 2004. Erik became a landscape photographer in the hope that this might be a way to get paid to hike, as the silence of the wilderness is where he is renewed. While it has involved more office work than he ever imagined, he’s still managed to explore nearly every corner of Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking every trail, most of them more times than he can count. In 2007 Erik opened his gallery in Estes Park. Since then Erik has become one of the primary photographers focusing on Rocky Mountain National Park. He’s published numerous books, opened other gallery and display locations, and contributes to various local and national publications. Erik tends to avoid the spotlight and can most often be found heading in the opposite direction of the crowds, looking for quiet trails that lead into places of beauty and silence.

We all have our own stories of the ways in which Rocky Mountain National Park has made a deep impression on us or changed us in some meaningful way. For many, it was love at first sight as they crested Pole Hill and saw Longs Peak and the rugged mountains of the Continental Divide stretch out high above the Estes Valley. This initial glimpse made it clear that they were entering a place they had been longing for deep within―that nature was something their hearts were craving, though they didn’t know it until this moment. There is little wonder why Rocky Mountain National Park is one of our nation's most visited national parks. Its jagged peaks and lush green meadows are enough to set any heart aflutter. The park’s 350+ miles of hiking trails make it one of the premier hiking destinations in the country. Grand vistas, quiet meadows, and pristine mountain lakes abound within its 415 square miles. It is a place that would take a lifetime to fully explore. Even the roads within the park are memorable. Not many places on earth can one drive up to over 12,000 feet above sea level and enjoy snow in July. Rocky Mountain National Park is also home to abundant wildlife. Herds of elk can be see
