2009-1003 (RMNP with Mark and Anna)

First weekend in October is ELK FEST at Estes Park, Colorado, which is at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the time of year when the Elk are in "rut" or in "heat" - it's mating season, and Big Daddy is on the prowl. They roam the streets of the town of Estes Park, and are in the hundreds in teh lower elevations of RMNP.
