No football needed here. Peak colors and moose activity keeps you busy. These pictures were taken either at the end of August or first of September when Ted was still here. This day Ted and I drove out into the park to soak up the scenery. And, it just so happens that its moose rutting season. The huge bulls always come to the front country area of the park to battle it out!
Aspens and birch were brilliant this year!
Willow shrubs turning yellow.
Two cow moose standing in the dwarf birch close to the road.
Just down the street a big bull browses by the roadside.
He still has velvet hanging on his antlers.
The tundra and boreal forest bursts with color.
Ted capturing the magnificence of this land.
A few days later the three of us road into the park and saw this big boy.
He stopped to thrash his antlers through the dwarf birch.
Since these photos we have had a couple of huge wind storms with steady 45 mph winds and gusts up to 70 mph. Most of our color was short lived, but greatly enjoyed while it lasted.
Splendid color!
