Seeing elk in and around Estes Park, Colorado, is nothing new. Elk attacks are rare, but they do happen. However, elk attacked three different people over an eight-day period.

Estes Park Private Garden Tour
Starting at 8am, pick up native plants especially curated for Estes Park and surrounding Rocky Mountain areas. Tour from Mrs. Walsh’s Garden will start at 9am. The Estes Park Garden Tour includes six private and one public garden, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden on the west end of Elkhorn Ave. Mrs. Walsh’s Garden (MWG) is a hidden gem, with a stunning backdrop of a granite cliff. It is designed as a walled garden filled with native plants that thrive in Estes Park and the mountains. It was started in the late 1990’s on land purchased by Mrs. Walsh’s granddaughter who wanted to save the land from development, while honoring her grandmother. The Garden was severely damaged during the 2013 flood, and has since been replanted and maintained by the Town’s Parks Division with significant involvement of volunteers.
Worth-the-drive food destinations in Colorado
We boast about Boulder County’s culinary wonders more than almost anyone, but diners cannot thrive on local tastes alone. The solution for taste buds bored to death with the same old pad Thai and Buddha bowls is to take them (and the rest of your senses) on a road trip. Just down Colorado’s highways are some seriously cool food experiences.
