WATCH: People get dangerously close to bull elk at Rocky Mountain National Park

A video recorded earlier this month inside Rocky Mountain National Park is causing concern, as it shows several people who got dangerously close to two bull elk.

I'm beginning to wonder if these excessively overcrowded open field zoos are luring "tourists" to capture recordings of homo sapien gene degradation opportunities.
The modern day National Park paparazzi of Human stupidity.

Vehicles stop middle of highway... phones come out hoping to capture retard #1 with hopes for some top $ repeat.

Back "in the day" our fraternity at MSU owned a 1917 White retired YNP touring bus which we young tourists drove all over SW Montana, but typically to Old Faithful. For safety concerns, the designated driver was allowed only one adult beverage per half hour and only for esprit de corps prescriptive purpose.


BTW, statute of limitations has long ago expired.

That's awesome @Straight Arrow ! Haha!
We did something similar with my '65 scout! Hard top off... 4 of us ruffians toured the National Parks and visited a few IH festivals.
I can neither confirm nor deny alcoholic beverages during our tours. I eh, don't recall.

Now your frat's mobile is a crown photo op for National Parks - Haha! Memories of our yester-years.

My favorite Yellowstone hack is to sit at Old Faithful and wait for that impressive pre-eruption display, right before it really goes off. When that first one dies down, say loudly, well, that was it. Pretty cool, huh! Then start to walk off the board walk. Had about 45 people follow me one year.

One time the tourist boys took an old steering column with wheel to Old Faithful. They stuck it in the sand near the boardwalk and as eruption began, they yelled, "Let 'er rip!" and turned the steering wheel counter clockwise. The observing ranger adamantly suggested that they load the bus and depart!

My favorite Yellowstone hack

I saw what I thought was a black bear on a ridge between Mammoth and Tower last week and pulled over (yes, on a pullout) to get my binocs on it.

in the 10 seconds it took to discern that it was, in fact, a ’stump behind wavy leaves on a bush’, 3 cars pulled in behind me.

My wife and son started egging me on the rest of the drive to just pull over and start looking at stuff. I may or may not have done it (allegedly) twice. It’s my new favorite sport.

When everything is covered in lawyer-mandated warning labels for the purpose of "idiot proofing" a product and protecting people from their own stupidity, we just end up with bigger idiots.

Been there, done that, cleared the road for 20 minutes. #localsrule

Working in Yellowstone for over 40 years, I have seen everything. But this is what really pisses you off...

If that ain't the reason for the bull bar on your truck, then I guess I don't know what they're for.

Ah...tourists! As the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally revs up, there are reminders everywhere to not mess with the bison due to the tourist in the video below. I am sure it was posted last year when it happened but still a good reminder. When the tourists do this and you are on a motorcycle, it can be unnerving.
