Glacier National Park is home to an abundant array of wildlife, including the mischievous and comedic Marmot. They are large ground squirrels that are most active in the summer and they provide park visitors with a multitude of hijinks. This specific photo was taken on the Grinnell Glacier Trail and he took us by surprise. We came around a corner and he was just snacking on the forage available. It was so cool to get a great look at this park prankster.
