Elk herds are gathering in lower elevation areas for fall mating season. This time is also known as the elk rut! Bull elk can be very aggressive as they protect the cows and young in their herd.

When your friends ask, “How close can I get to that elk?" suggest they ask a different question, such as “How far should I stay back?” Let wildlife be wild and observe from a distance. Stay back at least 75 feet (or two bus lengths). Let your friends know that approaching wildlife is illegal in Rocky Mountain National Park and it doesn’t matter if they are doing it to take a photograph.

To help prevent disturbance and harassment of elk during this time, and to enhance elk viewing opportunities for all park visitors, from September 1 to October 31, areas in Horseshoe Park, Moraine Park, Upper Beaver Meadows, Harbison Meadow, and Holzwarth Meadow are closed to all foot travel from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. daily. Park visitors must stay on designated roads or established trails during this time.

Fishing locations found within these areas along sections of Fall River, Big Thompson River, and Colorado River are closed to all anglers from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

Rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast for Rocky Mountain National Park beginning this afternoon through Sunday.

Lightning strikes are common in Rocky. While visiting the park, be aware of your surroundings and know the most high risk places to be, compared to the safest locations when a thunderstorm rolls in. There are no fully safe options in the outdoors.

If possible, shelter inside a vehicle or a building. If you are out on a hiking trail, the next best option is to get below tree line and shelter at the base of a cluster of low elevation trees or in a lower elevation ditch or gully.

Avoid these locations during a thunderstorm:
🌩️ The top of a mountain peak
🌩️ Exposed open slopes above tree line
🌩️ Caves or rock outcroppings on the side of a mountain
🌩️ Open water
🌩️ The base of a single tall tree
🌩️ The inside of a tent when camping in an exposed area

For more information and tips on lightning safety visit our website at https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/lightning-safety.htm

Did you know that a black bear's sense of smell is estimated to be seven times stronger than a bloodhound (that's about 2000 times better than a human's)!

Be Bear Aware - When at picnic areas, campgrounds, and anytime you have food with you keep all food and scented items within an arms reach. Never leave food or scented items unattended at any time.

When available, use bear lockers to store all food and scented items (lip balm, lotion, soaps, toothpaste, hand wipes, hand sanitizer, anything with a scent). Never place scented items in a tent!

Lock your vehicle doors at all times. Bears will open vehicle doors to look for food.
