Where to See Colorado Wildlife

Wildlife in Colorado can be found across the state, from your backyard to the mountains.

We have to remember when we're in nature, this is where they spend their lives and most are not used to human contact.

Proper Colorado Wildlife Viewing Etiquette

To keep yourself and the animals safe, here are a few tips to follow when viewing wildlife.

• Keep a safe distance: Do not attempt to get in close range of a wild animal.
• DO NOT feed wildlife
• Do not make sudden movements that may startle wildlife
• It's best to leave your pets at home: protect your fur baby and wildlife by keeping these animals separated.
• Avoid direct eye contact: again wildlife is wild and may see that as a threat.
• Respect other viewers and private property
