“The moose populations are doing well,” Holland said. “The populations are increasing and their range is expanding.” Biologists say current moose populations are estimated at 500 animals in North Park and 250 in Middle Park with ranges expanding into Summit County, Gunnison, western Larimer and Boulder Counties and new areas in Routt County. Colorado’s population is now estimated at between 1,300 and 1,400 individuals statewide.
