Elk in the Upper Basin, with tourist

Elk wandering along the main trail through the Upper Geyser Basin. These guys (mainly gals, actually) aren't exactly the wildest of beasts; in the original photo, a tagging collar can be seen clearly on one of them. But there is no such thing as a "tame" elk, and I wouldn't really have wanted to be as close to them as the person in the photo, telephoto compression or no telephoto compression.
