  • We spend 1 day in Rocky Mountain National Park searching for wildlife. We see a moose, big horn sheep and other awesome animals. We love seeing animals in the wild :)
    We tried a different video format this time. We were aiming for a fusion of a vlog and mini animal/nature documentary to utilize the great animal footage we managed to get. Let us know what you think.

    Hi Everyone! In this video we tried to do something different, sort of a fusion between a vlog and a mini nature/animal documentary to utilize the great animal footage Alex managed to capture during our trip. Let us know what you think :)

    Whenever you visit Rocky Mountain national Park in Colorado. there’s a good chance you could find animals like bighorn sheep elk moose mule deer bobcats foxes coyotes the occasional black bear and mountain lion as well as marmots golden eagles peregrine falcons and a whole lot more!

    Wow. Loved this video. We have been on yearly trips to Estes for 40 years including countless walks around Sprague Lake. We have never seen a moose and it is on my bucket list. Your photography is gorgeous and your narratives very fun. Thanks for the great video.

    Thank you so much for uploading this video about wildlife in the Rocky Mountains. Bringing 12 family members there on Hwy. 34 this summer. Hoping my daughter will get to see pika & marmots especially. Amazing how close you got to the marmot & moose! Were the pika hard to find & are they skittish to humans?

    • @PursuingMountains
      @PursuingMountains  3 роки тому +1

      Aww that will be so much fun! The pika were easy to find, but they were quite skittish of humans so we only saw them from a distance. You can hear their “pika squeak” quite loudly though. I hope you and your family have a wonderful trip! Thank you for commenting :)

    That Bear had a hump indicative of the grizzly bear. They say there is only black bear at Rocky Mountain national park but that sure looked like a grizzly to me.

      I don’t know. We haven’t been in October. I think in the Rockies there’s always a chance of rain in October especially in the high elevation parts of the park.

      The recommendation is to stay 25 yards away, you may not be able to tell from the video, but we kept that distance.
