Love, love, LOVE quaking aspen and bugling elk. This post makes me a little homesick for western places. Just lovely.

Hi Misty!
Bless your family!
and
look at your surroundings... so beautiful ~
incredible elk too!
What a wonderful experience!
Oh ... I've been meaning to ask... how's the altitude? Was it difficult to get accustomed to it?
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
