This beautiful animal spotted us well before we new of it's peaceful presence, as we were hiking back onto the West Prong trail and appreciating the hike so far. She looked up to see where we were and then ignored us for the most part as she continued to graze, only glancing our way a few times over the next few minutes.
It had rained some the night before (11/10/24), so the trails and manways were fairly quiet along the West Prong trail but little standing water. There were a few folks on the trail this morning.
