The elk moved into town

 

The first town inside of Yellowstone was Mammoth Hot Springs. A beautiful little place with sackfuls of history and giant steaming pools and terraces. On the way in there is a large boulevard with lots of grass and trees.

This morning it was invaded by many elk. They were curled up and sleeping all over tha damn place. The kids loved seeing them so upclose.

On our way back out of the park most of the boulevard was blocked off by park rangers because the elk had not moved on yet. There were close to 50 mom and baby elk taking naps and feeding, bloody cool!

Elk everywhere.
