Denver Post photo editor and imaging specialist Werner Slocum captured this group of moose near Georgetown, Colorado, this week. He writes:
Visitors to Colorado’s high country might expect to see fall colors at this time of year, but a not-so-common sight, blending in among the fall colors, might be the Shiras moose. The moose is Colorado’s largest big game animal, with adults weighing up to 1,200 pounds and standing six feet tall at the shoulder.

According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the current moose population in Colorado is about 1,000.
