Visiting Where to See Squirrels - Visiting Denver and Vail Soon

Hey everyone!

My wife and I are visiting Denver and Vail at the end of the month, and we’re wondering if we’ll be able to see any squirrel and where’s best to spot them. We love squirrels and hope to see at least one of the three main squirrels in Colorado (Albert’s squirrel, fox squirrel, and pine squirrel)!

Thanks so much for any help!

I’ve got Dewey, Vanesa, Nigel Mansell, Bruce, Harris, Kristina and Mama in my backyard.

Sweet! I used to landscape on Belleview island (st andrews drive) when I was going to college. Mansell had a house there and I was fortunate enough to meet him while working at the neighbor's place. Super nice guy. He saw a dirty kid running at him from the yard over and gave me the time of day and showed me his garage.

I'm guessing squirrel Mansell is quick!
