In Estes Park, CO, it is common in winter to see many elk and other wildlife in neighborhoods and even right in the center of town. If you click on my screen name it will take you to my home page. I have two photos of elk in Estes Park. I have seen, on several occasions, a herd of elk eating grass right in the front of McDonalds. One time I was walking down a sidewalk that was not busy and came face to face with a bighorn sheep.
Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
There is an elk cow staying in a pasture along 287 with a couple of bulls. She has been there a few months now.
Cool!! Over one million served..
Those are great photos on your home page, MC! Beautiful area to live in...
The Mrs. and I got married in Rocky Mtn Natl Park 25 years ago this October. We were staying at the Inn at Estes Park. When we got up early in the morning to fetch some meat and cheese platters from Safeway, we had to shoo away some smaller elk and calves from our car in the parking lot so we could leave. Later on that night we were all in the hot tub out back enjoying some beers. There was a huge herd of elk milling about within 15 feet of the hot tub like they wanted to join the party. One of the big bull elk started trumpeting (?) at the top of his lungs which was very entertaining.
