Very early in the day, we saw some stone sheep. Cute little things, almost looking like mountain goats, but not quite. And the babies . . . my oh my, are they cute!
After we checked in at Muncho Lake, we headed to Liard Hot Springs. Not 150 feet from the RV Park, we saw this caribou. He is shedding, so he didn't look too handsome . . . and he was very young. I think he would be the apprentice in the garden.
Then we came across a whole herd of Stone Sheep walking along the road. They were not in any too big a hurry to get out of the way, either. Can you see the two on the rocks above the road? They were headed toward the high country!
About two miles further, we saw the herd of Wood Bison that lives in the area. Now we have seen bison before but not this kind and certainly not on the road, crossing the bridge, and in the ditches. They say there are about 100 of them in the area. I am sure we saw at least half of the herd, and there were plenty of babies, which is a wonderful thing!
Finally, at Liard Hot Spring I saw a black bear. But no one else did. On our way back to the RV, however, this little guy was eating at the side of the road. He disappeared in the bushes, only to cross the road a little ways up. Since we were waiting at road construction, we had the opportunity to take several pictures. Cute little guy . . .glad momma was not around!
