The short story of the Signal Mountain Elk: After retracing our winter snowshoe trek on the drive down from Signal Mountain inside Grand Teton National Park, a large bull elk was foraging just off the road. Also known as Wapiti, they are one of the largest species of the deer family. John Muir once said, “In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.” We are privileged to be in the presence of these majestic creatures, and that quote reflects the gratitude that we should seek when we find ourselves wandering in the great outdoors.
