Fern Canyon

Katie climbing over some downed logs in the canyon. Most people stop quite a ways back due to river crossings and downed logs. We went to the end of the canyon and climbed up to the rim to hike back out. It's a super lush place with steep walls covered in ferns, hence the name Fern Canyon.
A couple elk hanging out in a meadow near Fern Canyon. This was about the only exciting experience I had all spring break. The rest was spent researching, reading, and working on projects. This meadow had about 25 elk laying around, a couple bulls but mostly females with kids. These two were the closest to the truck. Taking photos out of the side of a vehicle really makes me feel like a tourist.
