Additional Elk Notes: ® March through the end of August male bull elk are growing their impressive antlers. ® June is typically the month elk calves are born. June, July and August make for a joyful viewing time of the babies nursing and frolicking in the meadows. ® September and October are an exciting time in the valley with the beauty of fall foliage and the elk in Rut (breeding season). This is when you can hear their haunting bugle call and see them sparring for mating rites. (prices subject to change) (tour times vary with the season) |
