Estes Park has been heralded for its shocking beauty, great family-friendly atmosphere and the abundance of easily seen elk.

Visitors have taken more still photos here than can be counted. And there’s little that compares to their helping tell others what they can expect when they come to the area.

In addition to the videos posted through this website’s home page more than 1,160 videos have been posted by others on the internet that help tell the story.

See for yourself the joyous celebration of springtime elk calves  and the incredible autumn show of the elk rut just as viewers of CNN have seen, and as seen by readers  of the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
