Grand Canyon National Park — Wildlife SAFETY REMINDER: Elk Rut Season

From August to early winter, male elk are in a period known as the rut. During this time they become territorial and will attack if approached or threatened. Please do not approach elk, stay a safe distance of 100 feet (30m) away, and never water or feed them for any reason.
