Lin and Michael’s Photo

Spotted our first elk just after we entered the park.  We noticed a whole bunch of cars and trucks stopped by the side of the road so of course we had to stop and check it out.  This young elk was munching by the river.  There were quite a few people taking photos.  He didn’t mind at all – just kept eating.  Most of the people got within 15 to 20 ft of the elk.  After we left, I started reading one of the park handouts – and they advise you keep at least 25 yards away from the elk!  Oops.
