๐๐ฆ Flashback to Fall in Estes Park ๐ฆ๐
If youโve never experienced fall in Estes Park during the elk rut, youโre missing one of the most magical times of the year. The sound of bull elk bugling echoes through the valley, the aspens turn brilliant shades of gold, and the mountains put on a show that never gets old.
This video was taken on the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course, one of the elkโs favorite gathering spots each fall. Watching these incredible animals up close while surrounded by golden leaves is something youโll never forget.
Many locals consider late September through early October their favorite season. The weekdays are especially wonderful, with a little more breathing room to enjoy the trails, wildlife viewing, downtown shops, and beautiful mountain scenery. Weekends can be very busy, but the energy and excitement of fall make it a special time to visit.
๐ Planning a fall getaway? We recommend booking early, as this is one of our busiest seasons and rooms fill quickly.
We hope to welcome you to Silver Moon Inn this fall and help you experience the magic of elk season for yourself!
