On Wednesday evening just before sunset, a young elk near Cora, between Randle and Packwood, stands beside adults chewing their cud as they hunker down for the night.

From Silverbrook Road, the Cowlitz River Valley through Randle, also known as the “Big Bottom” valley, is lit up in shades of orange and blue at sunset on Wednesday night. Cars were asked to take a detour along Silverbrook Road after U.S. Highway 12 closed near Kehoe Road in Randle after a two-vehicle collision.
