I did four miles up and down Emerald Mountain in Steamboat. Got slowed down on the way down when I rounded a corner and saw a little moose calf (this year's) standing about 40 yards ahead of me. Didn't see the cow right away, but knew she was close by and that was cause for a pucker factor of about 7.5. Made a little detour to give the calf some space, got around it, looked back up the trail and there was momma, watching me as I put some distance between us. That was the youngest calf I've ever seen, cute little bugger. But not a good situation to be that close.
