[Grad-postdoc-assn] Elk bugling hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park

[Isabelle Ruin]

Hi Everyone,

The social committee would like to propose a small hike to watch and  
listen to Elk bugling in the Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes  
Park. The best time for that is the last week of September. To have a  
better chance to see what we want and to better understand what we  
see, we can ask to be guided by a RMNP Ranger. The Ranger program for  
Elk bugling propose to go for a one to 2 hours walk starting at  
5:30pm. The group is limited to a number of 20 participants (not  
younger than 10 years old). They can either propose this on weekdays  
or on week-end. They ask for a donation of 90$/h so before booking  
anything I would like to know how many people would be interested to  
participate. Of course the price each of us would have to pay depends  
on the number of people that will attend.

Please send me back your answers to the following questions by email  
as soon as you can.

- Are you willing to participate?

- What dates would be possible for you from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th?

- How many people would come (family and friends are welcome)?

- Would you be willing to drive to Estes Park? If yes, is there room  
for taking other folks in your car?

- Do you have a pass to enter the Rocky Mountain National Park?

- What maximum price (/pers) are you willing to pay to get a guided  
tour with a ranger?

Please answer at least to the 1st question even if you're not  
interested.
Thanks

For the social committee
