The sun is sinking quickly over the Columbia, and the westbound ROOEVE has been rearing to go since before Ft. Worth decided they should shove back into Roosevelt to make way for the eastbound Portland section of the Builder. Finally, their trio of SD75s makes a banshee run for the sunset between the passing storm systems along the Columbia.
A bull Roosevelt Elk watches his herd of 12 cows, during the rut, as they feed on new grass.
The Roosevelt elk on Vancouver Island, grows to around 6–10 ft (1.8–3 m) in length and stands 2.5–5.6 ft (0.75–1.7 m) tall at the withers. Roosevelt elk bulls generally weigh between 700 and 1,100 lb (300–500 kg), while cows weigh 575–625 lb (260–285 kg).

Last in my series of images illustrating the four extant elk subspecies in North America.
From Wikipedia:
"The Roosevelt elk is the largest of the four surviving subspecies of elk in North America by body mass."
From the National Park Service:
" Roosevelt elk live in coastal forests and mountains throughout the Pacific Northwest, west of the Cascades, from northern California to southern British Columbia and Alaska."
We found this serious bull in Redwood National & State Parks, northern California.
While en route to my photographic adventures on grizzly bears out of Telegraph Cove, I came across this lone Roosevelt Elk female feeding along the roadside. It has been my only sighting of the subspecies of North American Elk in all the year of photographic travels.
This female was observed south of Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

The name "wapiti" is used in Europe for Cervus canadensis. It originates from the Shawnee and Cree word waapiti, meaning 'white rump'. Elk range in forest and forest-edge habitat, feeding on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Male elk have large antlers which they shed each year.
The Roosevelt Elk is the largest elk subspecies. For those following my new series, it's about "est"...i.e. largest, heaviest, tallest...etc. Several more to come.
This big fella was found in Redwoods National and State Parks, California.
I drove past Roosevelt Lake Bridge recently. I was too late for the sunset, but I got some nice ambient light instead.
Dawn reaches Roosevelt Lake in the Shawnee State Forest, OH on this cold morning, October 20, 2022. The lake and many of the facilities in this area were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

These are the other two big players in the Roosevelt Elk herd I was privileged to observe for the day. It took me awhile, pooling through my memory card's take, to decide on names for them: Stud #2 and the Wannabe. In yesterday's post, Stud #1 did spend a little more time "sitting this one out" so to speak. At one point, he just laid out at the forest edge there behind these two hunks. Now this may not be what it appears, as though the wannabe is getting herded off by the big guy. I think they both had goals at the moment - the wannabe to eat, and the big guy on the right really just had his sights on a female ahead. You may not be able to tell here, but Stud #2's rack is a finely formed 6x7. And the Wannabe struts with his 5x5. (Not being a hunter who gauges such things 😏)
More Roosevelt Elk from last fall. This is the guy I dubbed "Wannabee", the 5x5 who just taught Spiker a sparring lesson. Here he is just a few minutes later, trying to get it on with the nursing mama. I thought "Dude, have you no shame?"

Theodore Roosevelt NP wild horses made the news lately. Evidently, there has been controversy between wild horse advocates and the NPS whether the horses stay or go. For now, their presence is assured though there will be effort to manage the numbers. Yeehaw.
I hope the Park Service understands the driving force behind my 2700 mile road trip to North Dakota a couple of years ago was to see the wild horses of TRNP.
