2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Rocky Mountain elk, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, United States of America
Bull Elk in Velvet on Mount Evans Scenic Biway in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Species: Rocky Mountain elk | Location: Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, United States of America

These magnificent Rocky Mountain bull elk in velvet rested comfortably at 14,130 ft. on Mount Evans Scenic Byway, the highest paved road in North America, in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. The ability to drive to such dizzying heights to see and photograph such magnificent animals makes one greatly appreciate the wisdom and foresight of those who envisioned the importance of forming U.S. National Park Service for everyone to enjoy.
