Exploring around Doll Baby Ranch road after a full day of work.
Took Flume Hollow down to the East V and right at that confluence is where I surprisingly came across a herd of elk relaxing by the river.
They scattered fast as can be with a few that splashed across the river but I did a rough count of at least 14-16.
It's the best herd I've seen in many years and it was interesting to find them at an elevation this low.

The rainstorm earlier that day cleared up a bit and I was treated with a spectacular sunset and was greeted with an idyllic scene that you can't really plan for, just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
