The Wildlife of Glacier National Park

The wiley and elusive wildlife of Glacier National Park.
The Glacier Park Ground Squirrel is a very shy rodent.
The Hoary Marmot peeks out from its rocky hiding place.
The reclusive Mountain Goat heartily resists having its image captured by tourists.

Glacier's alpine dwelling Bighorn Sheep quickly vacate the area when people are close by.

We were able to capture this rare image of Nicole's people escaping from view along this precarious cliffside game trail.

This small herd was surprised by our appearance around a blind corner a short way further down the trail. Notice the white bonnets and black shoes common to this peculiar species.

It is very nice to see the menonites in their natural habitat.
