Rock Mountain Conservancy is eager to start their Field Institute programming again after a two-year hiatus due to the restrictive nature of COVID-19. Beginning this fall, Rocky Mountain Conservancy is thrilled to announce that their popular elk fall season tours will be back, billed as Wildlife Excursions: Educational Elk and Wildlife Bus Tours.
Bull Elk
View Rocky Mountain National Park from the comfort of their climate controlled 14-passenger mini bus or 11-passenger van. Trail Ridge Road is a premier travel destination so let us do the driving so you can enjoy the views!
These tours will bring groups through Rocky Mountain National Park to experience the ecological diversity and grand vistas that the fall season has to offer. Educational interpretation facilitated by our engaging field instructors brings a unique experience to each tour.
With an elk herd numbering between 600 to 800, about 350 bighorn sheep, numerous mule deer and a small population of moose calling the park home, it’s no surprise that wildlife watching is rated the number-one activity by a vast majority of this park’s three million plus annual visitors.
Photographers: keep at least 75 feet or two bus-lengths away from all wildlife in the park, and at least 500 feet away from more dangerous animals like black bears, moose, and mountain lions.
In addition to these tours, the Conservancy will be offering a limited number of family and child programs, and private tours. Visit Rocky Mountain Conservancy at rmconservancy.org to learn more about their programs.
