Many years ago a few lost elk found their way up from the massive herds down in the Blues. Some speculate these elk were met by a few of their brethren that were exploring from the West out of Ellensburg where kingdoms of elk litter the land. These Spokolite Elk have struggled with survival in the Spokane habitat however there are a few stragglers left, for the most part they have receded back to the motherland of elk in the Blues where seeing elk daily is as common as seeing your neighbors in Liberty Lake.
