Important to note that any elk who allows tourists close enough to do this is the first recipient of the stupid award.

It is common in Estes Park, CO. I once came face to face with a bighorn sheep on a sidewalk in Estes Park. I also took this photo from my car of an elk on a sidewalk.

Mess with the sheep, you get the big horns.

We were in Estes Park about 15 years ago when our son was at CU Boulder. My wife was out for a morning walk and saw an elk that size with his harem. Don’t want to get between the bull and his girls!

I think they take over the town every hunting season .
We had a annual fall meeting at the Hotel Stanley .

I like the sign on the building that confirms the location!
