Thank you Karyn for the awesome walk in the woods on Moose Day, where over 350 volunteers search for Moose over 5 hours all over the valley. We found 127. This count is used in Citizen Science.

A first today..... an albino elk. White color fur is not common. Or a really bad visit to the hair salon. This elk seemed health and not mistreated by others. #roamwithus #grandtetonnps
