Pictures taken in the Shoshone National Forest in early September, while heading towards Yellowstone National Park.
Winter was still months away, and it was too early for herd animals to be coming down out of the mountains. We assumed that this solitary throwback to prehistoric times must be either old or injured. He was neither. In fact, when we pulled off the highway to watch him for a while we realized that he was perfectly healthy. No idea why he was alone or out of the mountains, but we have seen him many times since that first encounter. The picture above is looking west towards Yellowstone.
Looking east back towards Cody...........
