Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor's Guide



Hunting in Roosevet and Arapaho National Forests

Hunting is permitted in Roosevelt and Arapaho National Forests but not in Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk that live in the National Park in the summer naturally migrate to the warmer, lower elevations of the National Forest for the winter. The Park permits no hunting within it's borders but relies on hunters in the Forest to thin their herds.

There are three times more elk in Estes Park than in Rocky Mountain National Park. We need more hunters to keep the elk in balance with the habitat.

Grand County, known as a "Sportsman's Paradise," offers some of the best hunting in Colorado.
