Alpine Mammal Behavior
7:30 AM
Glacier Institute Field Camp
Description:
August 10 2019
Cost $65
Have you ever wondered why marmots lick your hiking boots and steal your trekking poles? How mountain goats can climb vertical cliffs while lacking opposable thumbs? How the animals of Logan Pass endure frequent subzero temperatures and bone chilling winds for months on end? Learn about alpine mammal behavior and ecology during this fun, informative outing along Glacier National Park’s beloved Highline Trail. We will hike along craggy cliffs, stopping along the way to learn about at least seven of the amazing mammal species that call this area “home.” We will discuss two species of ground squirrels, marmots, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, pikas, wolverines, and any other species we are lucky to observe along the way.
