While backpacking the Palisades, my husband and I came across this baby moose. On our way to the Upper Lake, it was here drinking water. We didn’t get close; I just zoomed in as much as I could to get this picture. On our way back down, it was right in our path. Rather than risking angering a mother somewhere off in the trees, we backed off and waited for it to leave so we could keep going.
