Rocky Mountain Elk in Rut

Piece description from the artist

The famous Rocky Mountain National Park elk resident, and yes this was an elk in rut taking a breather from chasing the girls! Elk are abundant in Colorado and sometimes make it into suburban neighborhoods, but the most magical time and place to see them are in the park, or deep in the woods. If you are lucky, you will hear the males famous call, and that sends a shiver up your spine!
