In '02 on my way back from Ouray we passed through a herd of Elk (we slowed as we came to a corner in the hwy because we saw an old Malibu headed the opposite way with steam pouring out from under the hood and a headlight hanging. He had hit the biggest male and it was in the middle of the road thrashing around still when we got there) and saw so many bears, deer, antelope and other critters, it was like we were on a safari!
