Brighton Ski Resort
The head of Big Cottonwood Canyon
Salt Lake City, Utah
So far, every time I've been to the Brighton Granite Lakes
area I've seen a moose. This time I also saw a mother and
her offspring on the way up Big Cottonwood Canyon road.
If you ever stumble upon one of these massive creatures, and
it sees you, don't look around quickly or do anything quick
or jerky. They try to avoid humans but will attack if they
feel threatened. Keep your eyes on their eyes and slowly walk
backwards.
Once I scared a moose off the trail at night by holding up
two flash lights (so it appeared to be a pair of eyes) and
growling as low and loud as I could. I wouldn't recommend
this, because if you make the moose feel threatened AND he
feels like he could beat you, He will kick you into next Thursday.
Also if you get VERY close to one, don't turn your back on
him, you will be stomped into marmot pellets.
The best way to avoid a moose or any creature is to make consistent
noise while approaching. I personally think that having a
good stick or cane is the most effective, because it sounds
like a large animal slowly approaching, which usually can
be heard and felt by almost any creature including rattlesnakes.
These are excerpts from a little video I shot. These moose were walking
down Big Cottonwood Road. I wonder where they're going?
Female moose don't grow horns
Everyone has a moose story this year. There are so many that
survived this winter.
This was a large male, grazing on the west side of Lake Mary. One
of the only four-legged creatures in America that stands over 6 feet tall.
Male moose grow a new pair of antlers every year. The sole function is to
scare away and defend against other males. Thus enabling it to reproduce
with any females in the area.
