Who could not love a scene like this with the ever beautiful Castle Mountain as a backdrop and a lovely bull Elk grazing in the grass in the foreground.
While passing by Castle Mountain Campground near Banff, we decided to drop into and swing though the campground and see if we could find any animals. Low and behold this is what we saw. He couldn’t have been less concerned with our stop for a photo shoot.
