Summary
| Description |
NPS/Patrick Myers Current research at Great Sand Dunes shows that most elk stay year round in the open grasslands surrounding the dunes on three sides. Originally a species of prairies and grasslands, elk have been pushed into the mountains in many areas by development and hunting pressures. Elk are more often seen in quieter months, fall through spring, especially near dawn or dusk. Watch for them from pullouts along the park entrance road or County Lane 6. Never approach wild animals; instead, view them from a distance with a telephoto lens or binoculars. |
