It was just a normal day driving down the road; the family in this all-terrain vehicle was happily looking at the beautiful snow-covered landscape.
As the Colorado family drove down the road on their way back home after a busy day in town, Mom noticed something in the far, far distance. At first she must have thought it was nothing important, or maybe even the bright reflection of the sun beating off of the white snow was playing tricks on her eyes?
But as the car drove closer and closer to this optical illusion, it quickly became apparent that this was not some trick of the light; it was in fact a huge moving mass of gigantic animals!
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of huge elk running across the road in a breathtaking migration across the frozen landscape. The car had to come to a complete stop as the elk passed through and the reactions of everyone inside the car really prove how amazing this occurrence really is.
The elk seem to be running from something; perhaps they were scared off by the car itself when they first saw it in the distance, or maybe they even saw a predator and want to make sure their babies are safe. No matter what the reason, we're so thankful that this woman was thinking quickly enough to grab her camera to film this awe-inspiring sight!
