@stlcounty: Respect the wild! 🦌 Elk battles can be intense, so please use caution while at Lone Elk Park. Elk rut (mating season) has begun. The elk bulls are more aggressive this time of year. If you encounter elk on trials, turn around or go around giving plenty of space of at least 100 feet. Let's ensure these majestic creatures can continue their natural behaviors undisturbed.
