Elk Meadow Revisited (Sawtooth Mountains)
June 27, 1998

After the prior year’s fence round up, this trip was a breeze.

Michael Mancuso, botanist, was our guest and we learned of the wildflowers, grasses, sedges and woody species along Elk Creek and in the serene meadow.

We looked at stream banks that are slowly starting to recover from a century of livestock grazing.

Elk Meadow is a wonderful family hike either from Stanley Lake trailhead or Elk Creek.

In late June, wildflowers fill this peaceful setting, and sand hill cranes, elk, moose, coyotes and sometimes, even wolves, are present.
