When we came down Mt. Evans, we stopped by the ticket booth and Brett got out of the van to talk to the lady there to find where to go see some elk since we didn't see any on the mountain. So, after we ate our dinner we headed off in another direction hoping our search this time would be successful!! You see, the McCoy men ~ young and older ~ are all hunters and we just had to see something.
Note the hunter with his gun in the picture :o)
Jordan was excited, too!! Unfortunately, he didn't have a gun :o)
Finally, we reached our first destination which I think was called Elk Meadow!
I love taking pictures of old buildings.
And another one.
There were three signs telling some very interesting facts about elk.
And the little men (and Grammy) had to get out of the van to see what the signs said and . . . . .
to feel the elk fur (hide) and kiss the elk! Jordan is a trip and a half!!
If you click on this picture you'll see a rainbow above the mountain peak on the right!
Isn't that just beautiful????
We were patiently (? well maybe everyone wasn't too patient after a while ?) waiting here for a long, long time and didn't see anything that even came close to resembling an elk! Finally, someone looked across the road up on the hill and there were two mule deer. They are very red compared to the white tail in the East.
Do you see them?
After waiting here and it was starting to get dusk we decided to go to another place that someone told Brett about. Actually, we went back and forth to these two places several times!! Keep following the next post to see what to our wandering eyes did appear!!
