Heading up the "Road To The Sun" The pavement is poured right up to the rocks |
Single Mountain Goat near the top of Logan Pass |
To get this spectacular Big Horn Sheep we hiked 12 miles, up 3400 feet to a remote ridge and used a 800MM lens. (Not really, he was actually only 50 feet from four sani-cans at the Logan Pass parking lot). |

The brush was cleared back from the trail so it would be easier for bears to see and hear humans coming. |
