Going to Colorado this weekend

[my82cam]

Well, the wife and I are going to Colorado this weekend, this will be my first time to be out west(past Texas), I am heart broken I will not be going hunting, we are going for a wedding. I Will have a day to kill before the wedding and I would love to be able to see some elk or wildlife, if I can't shoot it, might as well try to see an elk in real life. Does anyone have any recommendations where to go, or something fun the wife and I could do while we are there? we will be there friday-monday morning. maybe an outfitter to check out for a future elk hunt?

You will see lots of Elk in Estes Park CO. Its about 1 to 1.5 hours north west of Denver. Beautiful place. RMNP is about a mile from Estes as well.

Sorry I thought you would get more responses, I read the thread and forgot to reply.

This time of year timing is important. If its warm early morning and late evening will be best times.

Head west and hit the Alpine Loop. Visit Ouray. You won't be disappointed.

Well, I just got back from colorado, we had a wonderful time. I was never able to see any elk, but I did see 2 huge mule deer, 5x5 or better. I also got to watch a spike chase around some does on the side of a mountain. It was pretty neat! I will say this, it is much harder to breath out there at 6,000ft! even worse at pikes peak, 14,100 ft is real hard to breath! lol
