Title: Brooks Range Dall Sheep
Post by: milldozer on June 02, 2018, 10:29:38 PM: I am fortunate to have a job that takes me to the North Slope of Alaska for weeks at a time during the summer/fall months. Here are some photos taken during an evening hike just North of Atigun Pass I thought you all might enjoy. I couldn't tell which, if any, were rams. Didn't have any optics and was only armed with an iPhone. Certainly no mature rams, but pretty cool nonetheless.

This country makes you feel small.

the sheer size of that country does feel overwhelming - at least to me.

This guy showed up just after midnight at Lake Peters.

Post by: milldozer on June 04, 2018, 05:31:10 PM: The bridge on the top is the Haul road, across what I believe is Atigun River 2. The one on the bottom is the Trans Alaska Pipeline.

Makes me wonder how long it will be until man screws it up like the lower 48?
