Wildlife

How wildlife impacts your Timp hike

  • You are in their home - be respectful!
  • You may encounter moose, deer, mountain goats, pika, big horn sheep, squirrels - disturb them as little as possible during your visit.
  • Watch from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
  • Never feed animals. It is bad for their health and changes their natural behaviors.
  • Control your dogs at all times, or leave them at home.
