This area is so beautiful! I loved traveling through here in the semi delivering farm equip to the ranches. We were able to get off of the beaten track and the scenery was gorgeous!!
Thanks for sharing :D:D:D

I've never seen a baby elk. Lots of baby deer/fawns but no baby elk. Are they also called fawns?

Thanks for sharing your photos.

Thanks! I was excited when I seen her, but she sure was moving when she seen me noticing her, very protective of her little one.

I am not sure what a baby moose is called?!

Landscape is beautiful (so are the elk).

I have lived in the midwest all my life. Makes me wonder what it would be like to live near the mountains. I am just use to flat land!

Beautiful photos. I would LOVE to visit your part of the country. Far, far away from where I am in south Ga.
