If you enlarge the picture you can see an elk lying down. This picture was taken by hubby about 20 feet away. The girl and I passed by a bigger elk on our way to a ranger hike. It was about 7 feet away from us before we noticed it. This one the girl and I passed in the way back to our campsite. The boys were headed down to meet us, so they had to go and see it. Imagine, 2 elk in one day and no Auntie Spinstie around. At least these elk didn't corner us for a half hour.
Wow! I've never seen one so small. Usually they're 20 feet tall, snarling, foaming at the mouth, stomping and red-eyed, right? Just like mountain goats ;-) Anyway, makes for a good campfire story.
