Wildlife watching in Estes Park happens everywhere, even in town, and especially during Fall & Winter!
Observing wildlife in Estes doesn’t entail a trip into the backcountry — view Elk and Bighorn Sheep as you drive through town! The golf course is a favorite spot for a grass snack.
During the Fall Elk Rut majestic bull elk challenge each other for breeding rights to the females. Their bugling call echoes across meadows – it’s a haunting and primeval sound.
