Sept. 16th Hike along Sheep Creek Trail

Today we hiked a trail that climbed above the tree line. As we exited the forest we saw a herd of Dall sheep. I tried to hide while I set up my camera and I used my longest lens. The sheep ignored me and I took several pictures. Then Joan and I ate lunch. The sheep started grazing and walked right towards us. They got close enough that I switched lens. The Ram posed for a few stately pictures and then snorted and head butted the ground. I quickly left the scene and the Ram followed me for 200 meters to make sure I left his territory.

Back in Haines Junction we visited the Catholic Church. It is a repurposed Quanset hut.
