Go On This Tour! - If I could give 10 stars to the Purple Points Tour Company for the Ruttin' Elk tour I would! Booked at last minute, we took the 7 am tour on September 21st. It was cold and the elk were more than plentiful. Our tour guide Zac was amazing, very informative and got us with yards of bulls and their cow harems. It was absolutely mesmerizing and the highlight of our trip to Colorado. The bulls were within walking distance and very active into their rut with bugling and the cows were vocal as well. The open air vehicle made it very easy to see the herds and take pictures. Once in a lifetime experience and my husband and I highly recommend to anyone! Just breathtaking!

Do not sign up with this company. Horrible experience how can you be over 30 minutes late to tour. - This company was horrible. We arrived at our meeting place and there was no one around for over 35 minutes. There was no phone number to call finally we called off of a sign on the door any answered and he said oh I’m sorry I forgot to get gas. Very uninterested guy in what he was doing. I do not recommend this company at all.
