Old boys' club on the mountain

 Bighorn rams just below Logan Pass

  WEST GLACIER, MT -- Going to the Sun Road finally opened Wednesday, so we have been battling traffic, construction, cliffs and ledges in multiple trips up and down over the past two days.
 It has its white-knuckled moments, but the scenery, which we have plenty of time to look at while waiting to pass through construction zones, is stunning and the roadside wildlife is entertaining too.
 Thursday evening as I was headed down the mountain for the last time, I got caught in a traffic jam watching this group of bighorn sheep on a snowbank above the road.  The photo turned out pretty well for a through-the-windshield shot.
