Look Both Ways

Just after dawn in Grand Teton National Park, a herd of elk watches for traffic before it crosses from feeding in the open flats at night and moving to the security of trees along the Snake River. The elk herd in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem numbers 100,000, the largest in the world. Yet, these creatures are difficult to spot during the day. Sightings like this one are most common at dawn and dusk.
