MOOSE IN GALLATIN CANYON
I have told you many, many times in this blog that you just never know what amazing things you may see when you travel the roads here. The road from West Yellowstone to Bozeman (100 miles away and the closest Wal-Mart) takes you on a beautiful drive through the Gallatin Canyon.
Traveling this road is always an adventure. You may see the mountain goats in the middle of the road around Big Sky. You may see a bear foraging for food in the meadow. On the way home last Wednesday we spotted these two moose in the willows along side the road.
The photo is a little blurry because I did not have my good camera with me. (That is a mistake that will not happen again anytime soon!) I took this photo with my iPhone so it is not the best quality but it sure beats not getting a picture at all!
Moose are very elusive and solitary creatures and you do not get the opportunity to see them very often. However, since the National Park is recovering from the Fires of '88 those who are in the know are saying that they moose are slowly returning to the Park now that their habitat is coming back.
Keep the camera handy. You sure do not want to miss a photo op!
