Rocky Mountain National Park
|
|
By choosing to enter the park via Fall River Road, I missed some attractions along Trail Ridge Road. So, I decided to head east for a few miles, before making a U-turn. |

It's not always easy to spot wildlife roaming the tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park. The animals are good at blending in with the scenery. But there is one easy way to find them: look for crowds of people gathered at the side of the road. I probably wouldn't have spotted these bighorn sheep, if not for the line of cars stopped near Iceberg Pass.

Male bighorn sheep are known for using their round horns to butt heads. I spent perhaps 10 minutes watching this herd, and only saw one such clash. They spent the rest of their time getting along, and ignoring the humans that were just a few hundred feet away.
