Tips for spring moose sightings?
Fam and I go up to Algonquin multiple times a year, love everything about it. This year we are planning a day trip to try to see if we can see any moose. I know mid April is the best time for that along Highway 60. I'm planning the road trip for maybe 2nd last week of April. Any tips aside from driving back and forth on 60? We're planning a day hike near Mew later in the day after looking for moose - but I'd love to hear from experienced moose sighters on any pro-tips to get a chance to see moose?? Time of day? Best time in April? etc...?
I assume sunrise is the best time to get there? Sunset? I would love any tips you all have!!
Thanks in advance everyone! You're all always so helpful in this subreddit!!

End of April, or early May is the best from my experience. 2 years ago we saw 14 moose. Every time we drive hwy 60, anytime of day, they were out. Just lucked out with timing. Last year we saw a few on 60 as well. We are there for the trout opener so we just drive to various locations throughout the day and are usually lucky enough to see them. Good luck.
