Moose in the Wildlife Preserve

Blackhawk on the River Sales Concierge Haden Tanner found an unexpected running partner this summer along the River Trail in the Blackhawk Wildlife Preserve. Rounding a corner along the trail, Haden came face-to-face with one of the largest species found in Idaho, the North American moose. Standing seven feet tall at the shoulder and weighing over 950 pounds, these powerful animals typically seek out wetland vegetation in the summer months…and found just what they were looking for at Blackhawk. Although the encounter was brief, with the moose retreating soon after his arrival, Haden says that it was an incredible experience to have been so close to one of these majestic animals.
