Bighorn ram on the run

Bighorn Sheep are among the more sure-footed creatures you will ever find. They are able to easily climb up and down the sheerest faces without missing a beat or slipping once. On flatter surfaces, they run with an authority and speed that gets your attention as they are sizable creatures and all muscle.

This big fella and a dozen of his bachelor friends were hanging out at the top of Glacier National Park’s Logan Pass a couple of weeks ago when we were visiting. They put on quite a show as they navigated the tourist hoards. This was one of the more senior of the herd and he and another were jogging through one of the remaining patches of snow at the top of the 6,647 foot pass.
