This is an Elk that I photographed yesterday morning out of
a herd of ten I came upon at an undisclosed location in the Beaver Creek StateNatural Area. (Exact location available
with an appropriate bribe) Anyone who spends much time hiking, even in remote
locations, will realize what an unusual opportunity it is to see Elk up this
close and with them standing still long enough to photograph.
In my volunteer position as Host at the Welcome Center, I am
asked lots of questions about the trails and hiking. I hand out a map and explain some of the
options, but I’ve decided being able to give them firsthand information from
actual experience would be the best. To
that end I have set a goal for myself to hike all the trails here at Beaver
Creek SNA this summer. There are almost twenty different trails, of which I have
hiked five. Yesterday I added a couple
more, and to my great surprise was rewarded with the Elk sighting.
So cool!
