All the folks at the Visitor Center were very helpful and gave us suggestions about spotting various forms of wildlife throughout the Park.

Everyone loved the...

It was a snowy day, so we pretty much stayed car-bound. We loved seeing the huge herd of Bighorn sheep - saw more of them than Elk. Again, though at that time of the year, the Elk had already started their migration.
I would like to be back when the weather is good and the bike trail along the border...
