This 👏 fawn 👏 is 👏 fine 👏 Please don't pet or move fawns alone in the wild. Mom is gathering food nearby and will return soon. The fawn has not been abandoned and it's not a toy!

Up close and beary personal 🐻 Happy National Black Bear Day! Although she looks adorable close up, I promise she looks even cuter from a safe distance. Black bears are residents of our park and are a common sight to see on your hike.

The search has been called off after two callers reported that it was them and that it was part of joke. The timeline and location of their report was confirmed and responders are leaving the area. Please know that calls for help are taken very seriously.

As Miller Moths migrate into our homes we want to remind you that they are pollinators and are also an essential protein snack for many other wildlife species (like bats!) Here's a photo of a Cecrops Eyed Silk Moth to help get rid of your moth heebie-jeebies.

Happy Memorial Weekend! Please be advised that both Horsetooth and Lory expect to be completely full this weekend. Be prepared for crowded trails and a wait to get into both parks. Happy recreating!
