when is peak elk rut in colorado?
Try to stick around long enough to see this action; itâs quite a sight. To check out the elk rut, head to Rocky Mountain National Park in the evening (peak elk activity occurs between 5 and 7 pm). Beeline for Moraine or Horseshoe park, large meadows where youâll likely see dozens of elk moving around in separate groups. Look closely and try to figure out whatâs going on.
