This by far was my favorite place to visit. The weather is wonderful and the scenery is amazing. Jim got out of the car near the road and photographed a moose and her calf. A couple of mule deer crossed our path on a hike. But the most plentiful wildlife to watch was the elk. They were EVERYWHERE - even in our campground. We found them down in the valleys, alongside the road; and on the Alpine Tundra above the tree line.
The elk were not skittish but were very much aware of anyone coming a little too close. I stood on the asphalt to photograph a herd which didn't seem to bother the closest bull. However, he raised his head and looked straight at Jim for several seconds when Jim stepped off of the road and on to the dirt. Jim squatted down and the bull continued grazing.
