Dall Sheep

We came across this girl by herself between Polychrome Pass and East Fork. She seemed spooked by something up the hill, but we never saw what it was.

Dall Sheep

A dall sheep watches us cautiously as we inch past her on our bikes along the Park Road in Denali National Park. Spring is a wonderful time to visit the park, before the tourists arrive and buses begin running. It was like we had the whole area to ourselves and the wildlife for three days!
