Last Saturday my dad and I went up on Big Mountain on a trail ride. It was so much fun and it was so beautiful up there! I was so glad to be back! Right as we were heading on top, we noticed a herd of elk bedded down by the tree line. The opportunity was too good to pass up so...we chased 'em! We were so close at one point that i could have reached out and touched an elk cow. She kept trying to reach over and bite my dad's horse so we slowed down and let them go. Still, it was a pretty cool experience, and the elk were no worse for the wear.
