After snowshoeing out to this frozen waterfall, I stopped for a break. At first I was steaming from the exertion as I gazed in wonder. After a bit this fella came out to trample around in the snow. Definitely hairier than any desert giraffe I’ve seen, but that only makes sense. He seemed fine with me there. I don’t think he is used to company out in this frozen landscape.
