Just as I was wrapping up my hike, I heard something big walking in the water... but the forest was far too dense for me to see it. I was nearly certain that it was a moose, and sure enough I spotted a pair of young (likely 2 year old) twin female moose. The first moose was either spooked by the faint outline of me that she could see, or perhaps they were already moving it along to somewhere else. I didn't have a good shot through the trees and I could hear that they were moving out of sight quickly. So, I tried to quickly and quietly get to a better view of them. The first moose was long gone, but the second stuck around just long enough for a couple pictures. It could have been a great set of shots had I arrived at that spot a few minutes earlier.. but that's just how it goes. Nice to see them out and about.
