First post here: I was hiking up to Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park this past October and this Bighorn didn't want to get off the trail. We were on a rocky ledge and had no where to go...he past within feet of us and didn't seem overly bothered.

    I wouldn't have wanted to argue over right-of-way with those horns! Glad the 'passing' happened without incident. Congrats on capturing such a lovely image, too.

    That must have been an awesome experience! I've been close, but not THAT close. Great story and capture

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
