The Great Smoky Mountains National Park Elk Showed Their Stuff on Saturday.

Saturday I enjoyed another photography class with Bob Grytten, and we were lucky enough to have great weather early in the morning, and to be greeted almost at the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with quite a few elk. They were grazing and seemed to be posing for us at times.

Many people visit this area to visit the elk, as it just takes about 30 minutes from Maggie Valley to drive up the mountain and reach the entrance of the National Park. Early morning and late afternoon provide the best opportunities to see the elk.
