Description
The Roosevelt elk, with its regal presence, stands as a majestic symbol of the untamed beauty within Redwood National Park.
The reddish-brown fur adorning the elk's head captures the warm embrace of the late afternoon sun as it casts a glance over its shoulder. Its nascent antlers offer a tantalizing glimpse into its future, foretelling a time when they will ascend with regal splendor above the creature's head, becoming a formidable symbol of its strength and vitality.
Inhabiting Redwood National and State Parks, seven herds of Roosevelt elk, a distinct subspecies native to the Pacific Northwest, are often seen grazing in the park's verdant meadows. This affords visitors a distinctive wildlife observation opportunity amidst the timeless expanse of the ancient redwood forest.
