JACKSON, Wyo. — Local elk are hiking it out of town as the weather warms up.

Buckrail reader Jeffrey McDonald sent in a photo of dozens of elk bedded down for a rest in the Polo Ranches early in the morning on Tuesday, April 8.

See more photos of elk on the move taken earlier this month by Buckrail photographer Nick Sulzer. Elk are following the snowpack and seeking higher elevation before summer heat sets in.

We love to see readers’ photos! Send your best snaps to tips@buckrail.com for the chance to be featured.
