240+ herd of elk

Just before sunrise these herd of elk were grazing on a farmers field. Just on the edge of the foothills of the Kananaskis Rocky Mountains. Not long after they retreated to the sanctity of the forest.

I viewed at 100% and counted, just in case anyone was wondering

A beautiful sight.

I'm in Canmore now and have seen a couple of herds around town, but nothing like this! Can I ask where about in Kananaskis?

Grand Valley road, Guanaco Salvaje, which is northwest of Cochrane.

Nice find on the elk herd. That's a lotta elk for a herd these days. Most of the farmers and ranchers in my neighborhood are never to pleased when these guys show up in numbers. TFS

Delicious!

Nice pictures! Are the bears out in that area yet?

I haven't seen any myself, but there might be. It is an unseasonably warm spring.

Amazing set Trevor! That first shot really sets the scene perfectly!

Good lord!!!
