Rocky Mountain National Park is about an hour NW of our house
in Boulder, Colorado.
It has great scenery and climbing plus there is lots of wildlife - needless
to say, it's a popular vacation/tourist spot.
Elk are over-abundant and wolves may be re-introduced to control the population. Other animals include Moose, Deer, Coyotes,
Sheep, Porcupine, Mountain Lions,
and many smaller animals.
A few pictures are below with more at the links above.

Elk must have just eaten some tasty grass! ;-)
