On another evening hike up Kootenai last night, we were about 3 miles in when we heard some crashing sounds in the brush to our right. We stopped and waited to see what would appear, when this bull moose suddenly came into view. He watched us watch him, not moving on until we did. A wonderful bonus for our after supper hike. Long or short or in between, our hikes are always lots of fun! :)

Cool photo, Nikki! The moose looks so sweet (especially his ears!), but you can just see the power in his massive form. They are amazing animals.

Thanks, Dana! Yes, power and speed, which is why I show them great respect. Took a few photos and then moved on. No reason to chance aggravating him. He wasn't very far away, given how fast they can move when they want to. While he had our full attention, we also had his. It was so cool to see him! :)
