Morning on the Rim Trail

Kicking Aspen

It was incredibly pleasant along the Rim Trail this morning, sunny and warm with a cooling breeze.  A female elk spooked by something ran straight toward us, stopping ten yards away when she saw us standing in the woods near her.  She bounded quickly out of sight.  Dr. K, Becca and I were on the trail for about 100 minutes; not a particularly long hike, but a very relaxing one.
