Snake River Rams





My family, plus Sam Johnson, were camping at upper Two Corral Creek on our third day of our annual Snake River trip. My dad and I had been in the boat fishing for sturgeon when we heard a pack of coyotes yipping, howling, and barking. It was incredible to watch them chase chuckers across the steep canyon hillside. While watching the drama unfold I noticed a large ram laying on the edge of a cliff right above our camp. My dad rowed me back to the shore and I grabbed my camera. Aaron, Sam, and I crept up the cliff and to within about 12 feet of these three bighorn rams. It was amazing.
