I’m going to call this the summer of charismatic megafauna: First I saw a bear at the yurt last month and yesterday we stumbled on a mama moose and her calf up at Willow Heights in Big Cottonwood:
Very cool.
The rest of the hike wasn’t too shabby, either:

“Charismatic megafauna” is a good name for a band. 😀

with all the rain, I’d say we have equal measures of megaflora as well! 🙂 Beautiful photos!! have you been to Willow Creek up near Strawberry, outside of Heber? It’s just past Daniel Summit. Trail is described as a one-way 3 mile, but it intersects with a connector that loops you right back to the car — 4 miles total. http://tinyurl.com/qy2px2p
