Today we decided to go see if we could spot any elk in Catalochee Valley, as we had been told by one of the roadside visitor centers that the park had recently released Elk in this area as an experiment.\u00a0 We took the scenic route through the park, so some of these roadside images came from locations that I cannot remember– we stopped whenever we saw something worth stopping for.\u00a0 The road up the mountain near Catalochee Valley is amazingly steep, and I was certainly glad that I was the one driving and not having to watch someone else to drive!<\/p>\n
