Description
We were quite close to this elk in Rocky Mountain National Park along the trail to the Holzwarth Historic site and ranch. It didn't seem to mind all the people who were tromping by to get back to their cars. September into October is one of Rocky Mountain National Park's most popular times. The bull elk that are usually cordial to other bulls, become confrontational with each other in their quest to corral a harem of cows. It's called the "rut" and the sound of bulls bugling is the season's siren song.
The elk rut is a treat for visitors to see because the elk are so consumed with their business that they largely ignore onlookers.
