Some Colorado Wildlife … Enjoy

Posted on by

The text below, along with the name of the recorder or video maker (I removed the identification) was received in an e-mail along with the embedded video. It was taken in Colorado.

Saturday I drove from my house to Estes for a
Holiday sale. On my way down the Forest service access road I pulled up
behind a car with his flashers on and witnessed this most amazing elk
migration.

There were only 3 or 4 cars at this place at this time. I was lucky to be in one of them!!
As you watch this, you will realize that there is a patch of ice in the middle of the road.
