Elk tend to migrate through the park with the seasons, moving from the higher cooler elevations in the summer to the lower less snowy elevations in the winter. Bugling elk in the fall and young spotted elk calves in the summer are much more likely to be seen at the higher elevations within the park or in the nearby Valles Caldera National Preserve. ![]() photo by sally king Elk Courtship ![]() photo by sally king ![]() photo by sally king ![]() photo by sally king ![]() photo by sally king |
