Wow, what a great adventure trip. It was thrilling just enjoying your story and pictures. My dh and I went to Glacier a few years ago for a family reunion, not much time for adventures and sight seeing. A cyclist descending "going to the sun road" in the moonlight was killed while we were there.

Great pics. A former member of my book group is a ranger in Glacier and she's never sent back pictures as nice as yours! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! We take so many photos and really work at culling them down to have just the best on the web. For example we also saw a mama moose and her calf. It was at twilight and they were in a lake and eating. I didn't take any pictures of them at all. They were just too far away for my camera and it was too dark. Even with the extender on Thom's 400 mm (making it about a 620), his photos weren't great. The animals were fuzzy because it was such a long exposure and kind of looked like donkeys.

Our first day in Moab we had an awesome rain storm that produced a double rainbow over Castle Valley. Neither of us had our cameras as we were coming back from dinner. By the time we got to the room, the rainbows were disappearing. Those photos didn't make the cut either.

Sometimes being a little farther away from a moose is OK, especially with a baby! On a vacation a few years ago, camping in the backcountry, I got some very close-up photos of a moose because it came rather aggressively through camp! Originally Posted by Veronica
