Curious Mountain Critters

Posted by AliciaMarie on 7/23/2007

When speaking about wildlife in our National Parks, thoughts often wander to bears and elk and wolves. While Reece and I did see several of these creatures, the most curious and lunch-stealing critters happened to be the small ones. In hopes of a meal they often posed perfectly for photos.

Chipmunk at Mt. The rock benches at Panorama Point along Rainier's Skyline Trail is a popular place to stop and eat. 1024 x 768 px (178 KB) 0 Comments		Yellow-bellied Marmots are often found living among high altitude rocks and meadows. An unknowing tourist comically called this one a beaver, then insisted it must be an otter. We chucked as we told him it was a marmot and he called back, "a varmant?" 1024 x 768 px (371 KB) 0 Comments
Marmot on Half A perfect pose from a lunch-seeking marmot. 1024 x 768 px (215 KB) 0 Comments	Raven Searching As we finally gasped to the summit of Half Dome in Yosemite, we were met by this bird, which I thoroughly believed to be scavenging for passed-out hikers. He (or she) eyed me for quite some time as I attempted to catch my breath. 1024 x 768 px (164 KB) 0 Comments	Curious Chipmun This plump Yosemite dweller scouts for dropped trail mix. 1024 x 768 px (135 KB) 0 Comments
Shedding Hoary As the snow melts at Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park, this marmot is just beginning to lose his/her winter coat. 1024 x 768 px (295 KB) 0 Comments	Hoary Marmot at Collecting grasses. 1024 x 768 px (298 KB) 0 Comments	Frog at Wagonwh Frogs like these dotted the shoreline here at Wagonwheel Lake, and were a welcome distraction from the pain in our bodies after climbing 3200 ft in 2.9 miles.

I love to hike and I love sharing my adventures through pictures. Most of my time is spent exploring the Pacific Northwest, but these past few years I've been able to travel to many of our country's National Parks.
