Trail jam

WEST GLACIER MT - -  Some days it's a real traffic slow up in Glacier National Park.  Usually from road work.  Yesterday it was a people-jam on  the trail to Hidden Lake.  This pack of bighorn sheep decided to wander down from the upper mountains to - maybe - lusher feeding grounds.  This required crossing the HL trail and creating a jam up with everyone grabbing for their camera, hoisting the shorter little ones on their shoulders and generally creeping closer to get a good photo.  Luckily there were park rangers there to create a passage for the group and keep the big horns for butting anything/anyone  other than their own heads.  Usually all we see on the trail are marmots or squirrels.
