I had a one day trip to run up to one of my favorite areas after a disappointing (super windy) trip with my Dad to RMNP

Just got back from a trip there myself.
We went up a couple days and sat next to a meadow in the evening until an hour after dark.
Jug a wine and few beers sitting on lawn chairs watching the fights and listening to Elk bugling a hundred yards away in the dark sends shivers up my spine.
What a great place !Attachments:

October 9, 2019 at 10:17 pm #1883824Was there end of Sept. it’s been so warm there many of the elk were still up high. We were up at the Alpine Visitor Center and there was a small herd just below us. They had to be at 11,000 ft, we were at 11,800. Went down to Moraine Park and watched. Only a couple bulls showed up that evening. Going back through Estes Park there was a good size heard on the golf course and a couple bulls right in the street. We laughed and dubbed them “City Elk”
The day after we got back there was a news story about a woman attacked after she got to close to a bull right in town.
