Overview

Fall in the Rockies is a season of golden aspens, crisp mountain air, and one of nature’s most powerful displays—the elk rut. Join us for a front-row seat to this dramatic and fascinating mating ritual, where massive bull elk bugle, strut, and spar in their quest to impress a harem of cows. Our Ruttin’ Around tour takes place during the most active hours for elk: sunrise and sunset, when the light is magical and the park is alive with sound and movement. Your expert guide will share insights into elk behavior and seasonal wildlife activity, adding depth and context to every sighting. Ride in comfort through the stunning landscapes of Rocky Mountain National Park as autumn colors and animal encounters combine for an unforgettable experience.

Available September 7th through October 17th.

Private tours may be available.
