Hiker in Colorado takes trip to the hospital after being kicked in the back by a moose

A man from Westerly, Rhode Island was out on a family hike in Colorado a couple of weeks ago when he, his wife and his son came face-to-face with a momma moose and her baby.

Dean and Rosemary Felicetti were in Colorado visiting their son Gabriel when they decided to go on a hike, reports WJAR. They visited a lake and had their feet in the water before heading back.

As they were making their way down the trail so they could go out for Rosemary's birthday dinner, the couple's son alerted them to the moose ahead.
