We spent Kellie's birthday paddling across a high mountain lake. The deer came right up to us within ten feet and hung out with us for about fifteen min. The great thing about national parks is that all the animals know they are safe and are not afraid of you. The other great part is that if you go just a little way off the beeten path you are all alone with nature. This is at Leigh lake, not far from Jackson but there is no road to it. You have to paddle up String Lake then port your boat about a hundred yards to Leigh, and there is not many people that do.
