Looking for moose
I’m planning a trip out west in late July/ early august and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what state and area I am most likely to see moose. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
|
Anywhere around Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. Lots of 'em!!
|
You do not have to go to the western US to see moose.
They even have an annual Moose hunting season in Maine. http://jackmanmaine.org/maine-moose.php There are elk in PA so you don't have to come west to see them either. |
Go to the Grand Teton NP.
Stop at the Visitor Center in Moose, WY. Drive on the little gravel Moose-Wilson Road. Stop for mama moose and baby walking down the middle of the road. |
I've been to Maine before and yes I saw a boat load of moose. I was out in MT a few summers ago and loved I was also fortunate enough to see moose. I want to go back out west to a state I haven’t been to before and hopefully see more wild life.

It worked for us - see my profile picture for picture of baby moose and mama

That is soo awesome! I saw a Bull moose grazing in GNP and it was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen ( after all the bear jams ;) )
|
You can aso see nesting horned owls in the campground there.
We saw just lots of other wildlife in the two weeks from GTNP, Yellowstone and Glacier. |
Mountain Dell Golf Course always has moose! Salt Lake City UT, in Parley's Canyon. BEAUTIFUL area.
|
Homer, Alaska.
We saw 4 or 5 moose on one day. This was in early June. Maybe that's a little farther west than you wanted to go? :) |
A few years ago we were on trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. I had to see a moose. Set out early AM in mist - just knew it was perfect time to see a moose. No moose in Grand Tetons. Later went out with family driving and walking. No moose. Returned to condo for dinner. Gigantic moose about 3 feet from condo munching on landscaping. Closest I have ever been to a moose in my life.
Also so many moose including baby moose - twins, which I guess is rare, at Denali in Alaska. |
Here would be my ranking for Moose sighting at the National Parks we have visited and in order
Grand Tetons-saw them on Moose Rd-up very close Yellowstone-saw them several places in the park Rocky Mountain-saw them over by Grand Lake-very good chance to see them there saw two and a calf up close Saw them in Alaksa-they seemed huge but were at a distance. I haven't been to Glacier NP, but I think odds are decent there. A place that I really want to see them at is Isle Royale NP. |
We see them just about every weekend in northern Colorado. Better than Rocky Mountain National Park is the Poudre Canyon- northwest of Fort Collins, CO. Beautiful drive and the Moose Visitor Center is there as well- they often post where in the area people have seen them that day. We have a cabin and see them all the time- and I am always thrilled at the sight! Twins are not uncommon.
We did see them on a trip to the Grand Tetons as well. |
