There are elk everywhere around here. Signs to watch out for them, droppings and prints from them right out our back door,but never did we see one last year, so we have joked that they truly must be invisible!! Well that all changed today when we went for a hike that was supposed to have a canyon on the end, but after all was said and done 3 HOURS later, we saw no canyon and I fear we will not be able to move tomorrow!!! But we now know there are elk, for this is what we saw.....
Holding an elk skull found on the trail
After going quite a ways farther, this is what we found...
Yes, that is part of an elk leg! We were beginning to wonder if we were going to have an entire elk by the time we were finished hiking =) But that was all to be found. So I guess there are elk here, at least in pieces anyways!!!
All in all, we Richter's love hiking, maybe next time there will be a whole animal to show you. Until then, have a great day!
