ESTES PARK — Fall brings plenty of beautiful sights and numerous festivals to enjoy. It also brings the familiar sound of bull elk throughout Estes Park during rutting season. The annual Elk Fest is taking place in Bond Park on September 28th, and 29th, this year. The festival is free and perfect for the entire family.
If you'd like to plan a mini-vacation around the event, you should look into lodging now because Estes Park gets very busy this time of year. Until then, if you need an Elk fix, please enjoy the video courtesy of Estes Park News, Inc.
