Less than 5 minutes into my run this morning I encountered a bull moose just a few hundred yards from the Headwaters trail head. I gave him his distance and he didn't seem to mind me following him as he meandered up the road, stopping occasionally to snack on some road side shrubs. After about 15 minutes he dropped of the road towards Pond 9 and I headed up the mountain for my run.
While not the largest moose I've come across on the mountain, he wasn't small by any means and I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to see such a beautiful animal. He's the first moose I've seen down low so the snow must be getting pretty deep at higher elevations.
