Bighorns by Hidden Lake

[Kyle Jones]

I pretty much always see Mountain Goats while hiking around Logan Pass, but on a recent hike to Hidden Lake it was the Bighorn Sheep that had taken over. Here are a few that I thought were fun. I've intentionally fought the urge to crop into just showing the animals and attempted to show more of the environment around them. Any thoughts are welcome.

1) Young Bucks

2) Relaxing

3) On the Move

I have never seen these guys up close enough to get a good picture. Do the bighorns mostly stick to more level terrain than the goats (relatively speaking of course)?

Great set of images.

It's interesting that they don't have any collars on. I had thought they had them all tagged.

Great images, and I enjoy the wider view in them. I would call all 3 of these World Class Kyle.

I've seen them in similar places, although I have to believe the goats can handle trickier cliffs.
