That look! Elk

Elk, Gardiner Montana

The in-town herd of Elk in Gardiner Montana provide some amazing close up opportunities. I am not sure if they are year round residents, or if they come in for the early spring grazing that lawns provide. There were 7 to 8 elk in the morning, each morning, right behind our hotel, on the grassy slope between the parking lot and the river. They were wary, but not easily alarmed…which pretty much describes my attitude toward them as well. 🙂 This one was down over a sharp slope, with just its head showing over, and very aware of me as I approached, still in the safety of the parking lot above.
