Here are some random photos that didn't make the blog over the last few weeks but I thought were worth sharing. The Elk below (there were actually 2) were quite startling to see crossing the highway. They were almost as large as horses and reminded me of moose in their movements. We pulled over to watch them in fascination.

These Turkey Vultures were perched throughout the trees just a short walk from the visitor center two days ago. We came upon them one afternoon during our lunch break and were confused about why so many had congregated in one place until we saw the small dead animal carcass in a ravine below.
