Wildlife

All of these animals were spotted on or near the property!

A visiting black bear came right up the steps...



and drank our juice boxes!



Fox are very common



A birdwatchers paradise

Jays are always fun to watch



Elk wonder through the property often



You are sure to spot a deer

Climb high enough up Mosquito Pass, and you may spot a mountain sheep




A rare moose sighting from the front deck!



Even more rare--the first documented moose birth in recent Park County history happened right by our river!!

You might even spot us, Rich and Angela, the owners of the Irish Rose.  Hey, why not put us under "wildlife".  I love this picture because it looks like we don't have a care in the world.  Come to the Irish Rose and toss your cares away!

Flowers

There is nothing more beautiful than Rocky Mountain wild flowers!
