California Big Horn Sheep 2

On backpacking trip to climb Mt. Langley in the Eastern Sierra's, this guy came upon us at about 13,000 feet. First time in my 15 years of backpacking I had ever seen these in the wild. Wow! He was not afraid of us, eventually he got within about 50 feet us. Unfortunately those closer shots did not come out, as the sun was behind him, totally underexposing the shot(s). A magnificant animal.
