Fall is always a great time to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. The summer crowds have died down, the air is cool with a touch of winter’s bite and aspens are turning into a dazzling gold color. Another bonus: the elk rut season is in full swing.
Traveling in herds across open tundra and low-lying valleys, Elk are routinely considered the main wildlife attraction.
