We saw quite a few moose, even a nice, big bull. Unfortunately, he had another season to go before he would be legal. But it was amazing to watch them in their native habitat, and to see just how huge of an animal they are. It was also nice to be out and see the other critters. This was a very curious ermine. When I made little squirrel sounds at him, he'd run closer to us, get a look, then run off. But his curiousity would bring him back...

The hills are covered with four-wheeler trails, which are usually pretty dry this time of year. However, this summer was much wetter than usual, so we were in a lot of mud most of the time. Above is one of the more defined trails.
