minus-squareTrippyFocus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up14·edit-23 days agoIf you ever want to see an Elk close up I would definitely recommend visiting Estes Park during Rutt (spelling?) season. Lived in Denver for a couple years and my wife and I would always drive up there to see them! Glad to see the Elk showing solidarity!

minus-squarecomador @lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·3 days agoOnly if you get close enough that one can charge you. Otherwise it’s a good time to see them all put in the open and mashing antlers.
minus-squareTiefa@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoYeah they’ve kinda learned that they are safe in Rocky Mountain National Park and in Estes so they’re chill. Still wild animals though and I wouldn’t really wanna be that close to one like in the picture.
