Elk, Elk and more elk. If you have never seen one of these magnificent animals, go visit Estes Park, Colorado on your next vacation. Elk are everywhere, along the road, in yards and even beside your hot tub.
This summer we stayed at Evergreen Cabins on Falls River, just three miles from Rocky Mountain National Park and saw and took photographs of hundreds of elk. There were so many that after a few days, we were looking for other things to take photos of.
No telephoto lens was needed here, these elk are used to being watched and do their “thing” with you standing near them. They basically rule the town, stopping traffic whenever they feel like meandering across the road. Just remember, they are still wild animals. Look quietly but don’t try to touch or disturb them.
