So we finish our sea kayaking adventure around 2pm and have a late lunch and then decide we should drive up a little further into the park and take a little hike into the Fjords. It should take aproximatly an hour. We thought we'd do this before supper and then go back to the campsite for the evening. We head up to the Fjords hike and start in. It is quite beautiful and works it's way over some different terrain and a lot of marshlands, with a comfortable boardwalk trail through some of the really marshy parts. Rounding a bend into the wooded area suddenly I stop and gasp, unable to speak. Chad, oblivious continues on a bit and then stops and stares at me, then ahead and goes "Quick, get a picture!" There just 25 feet or so in front of us, is this massive Moose. I had never been that close to a moose, in the woods, by myself, with noone around and wasn't quite sure what to do. I did, with shaking hands, get a couple pictures of this moose but then she started walking towards us and snorting. Since there really wasn't any room for her to walk towards us, we started backing up slowly trying to put space between her and us.
