We saw lots of wildlife on the trip: chipmunks, deer, goats, rams, sheep, midnite parties in the hot tub and sauna, even bears. This was a mother bear with two cubs who was alongside the road. We soon learned to pull over when other cars were pulled over as there was usually something to see, and not a flat tire to change. In fact, we saw so many animals we stopped taking their pictures after a while. I didn't stop with the mountains though (they are just so impressive in real life), so our photo album is filled with lots and lots of mountains.
