When I first got to Logan Pass, I fully intended on hiking back to the overlook at Hidden Lake.  But when I started hiking back, I almost immediately came across a herd of bighorn sheep near the visitor center.  Since this was only the second time I had ever seen bighorns in the wild, I was pretty excited and ended up just following them as they moved across the alpine meadow.  The first time I saw a bighorn in the wild, it was just a little one like the ram on the far right in the picture above.  This was the first time I had the chance to see some mature rams with some massive horns.  Several had full curls.  It was sweet!

I was so excited, in fact, that I did a terrible job of monitoring my exposure while shooting on manual.  Many of the images were horribly overexposed.  Luckily, since I was shooting in RAW, I was able to recover some of them for web use.  They probably wouldn’t hold up in print, but they look okay on the screen.
