Encountered a wolverine while climbing down from the saddle. A rare sighting indeed! |

I back-tracked up the slope and retrieved the camera from my pack; it hadn't noticed me yet... |
|
 |
|
| I managed one more quick shot when it re-emerged from behind a rock and spotted me; it took off as the shutter finished clicking! |
