I can’t wait! September in the Colorado high country is one of my absolute favorites.

The temperatures cool down leading to crisp, calm mornings and evenings that require you to bundle up just a bit. The leaves begin to change and there is that unmistakable sound of bugling elk as the males gather up the ladies into harems, vying for their love.

This image, taken last year at about this same time, had one of the big boys calling to the cows, trying to woo them his direction.
