Where to look

[searcher]

Someone may have asked a similar question already. I may be working in Denver for a couple of weeks and would like to know where I could drive to see some elk and mule deer. I may have access to a rental car - probably not an SUV so I can't get too far off the main roads but am willing to drive any NF road that is accessable in a car. Anywhere within a couple of hours of Denver. Don't really want to go to the Rocky Mtn National Park but if that is the best option I may try that. I was there a few years ago. Just want to see some wildlife in their natural environment. Thanks for any suggestions.

Take a drive up the Mount Evans wilderness area. You can go up to 14K and I have seen elk, deer, goats, and a few bighorn each time I go up there. Or take Little Bear Creek out of Evergreen up to the SWA and you should see some elk, bear, or turkeys.

Thanks. Both sound interesting. I will try to check them out.

Stop by the Rocky Mtn Arsenal and take a look. It sits between Denver and the Airport. Lots of giant bucks out there. You can't access the whole place, but you can see giants right off their short paved road or they may still do a bus tour. Go early.
