The road to the Tule Elk reserve is windy and scenic. There are acres of green pastures with very content-looking cows everywhere.
As we approached the reserve, D commented that maybe he should slow down because he wouldn’t want to hit a Tule Elk. Just after he said that, we approached a large group of Tule Elk, some of which were crossing the street! I think D and I were more excited than the kids. Seeing large wildlife so up close makes me want to go to Yellowstone to see more!
We parked at the historic Parker Ranch. There was only one other car in the parking lot.
We started down the trailhead. Thankfully, it was not raining; just overcast.
This small island off in the distance looked surreal in the fog.
I loved seeing all of the wildflowers.
Can you see the elk at the top of the hill?
Sometimes when we hike, k likes to go ahead of us on her own. Lil’ miss independent.
