My feed keeps being inundated with conspiracy theories and fear mongering about the tick season this year due to the warmer than usual winter we had. I do understand that this year is certainly not great with the abundance of ticks, but I’m curious what everyone’s actual experience has been so far. My partner and I are planning a weekend trip to Estes tomorrow and have already decided to limit our hikes in RMNP due to the risk of ticks. Are we being overly cautious or has anyone noticed a larger issue around Estes regarding ticks? TIA.
