Want to get genuinely excited for Ken Burns’ six-part National Parks documentary on PBS? Then head to Grand Teton National Park before “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” starts airing on September 27th. Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park is offering a special $145 a night Elk Lovers Excursion package from September 4 through September 27, 2009. This is a discount of 35% off their usual rate. It’s a terrific time to hike through the foliage, savor the scenery of the jagged peaks, and listen to the elks bugle during rutting season. The bull elk’s bugle starts as a low whistling sound that builds and culminates into the high-pitched sound of a flute. This lets other elk know that the bull has staked claim to his territory and harem. Let it blow, baby!
