Look up…wayyyyy up…and you will see what I called the “Ridge-Liner”, a Dall Sheep posed on the top of a ridge in Kluane National Park in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Having to look way up was a common occurrence during the few days that we spent photographing these unique creatures among this stunning landscapes.

I was amazed at how seamlessly they moved along the ridges, and the mountainsides like the one pictured here, and not slipping at all.  I got dizzy just watching them, let alone trying to mimic them.  This ability to traverse the steep mountainsides is what helps keep them safe against predators which are not quite as agile on these rocky ridges.

There are still spots available to join us on this unique adventure in 2018, visit my Photo Tours page for more information.
